Review on πŸ’» Hima USB 3.1 Front Panel Hub: 5.25-inch Optical Drive Expansion Board with 7 Ports - Type-C, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 by Doug Booth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

But works great. - I/O connector cards

This is a good front panel hub due to the variety of connectors. I love that it has USB 2.0 and 3.1 Type A and C ports. And while I won't be using the headphone and mic ports, it's nice to know they're included. I would love it if this panel had an SD card reader as well, but I guess life can't have everything. The only thing I don't like about this panel is that you can only attach it to your case by the front half as the back half doesn't have any side panels that go all the way to the back. This causes the panel to slide slightly in my case (the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO Test Bench desktop case) since it's only held on with one screw instead of two on each side (it's hard to explain, but it's partial the problem of my case). and partly due to the design of this hub). Also, it works great with my MSI MPG Z390 Gaming PRO Carbon AC LGA1151 motherboard and I am happy with the purchase.
