Review on ๐ฆ Vantec HDA-525P 3.5-Inch to 5.25-Inch Front Bay Converter Kit: Enhanced Storage Expansion Solution by Travis Smith
Very handy front panel, but I had to spend a lot of time troubleshooting.
I have a new MSI motherboard with 2 19 pin USB 3.0 headers. When I tested 2 USB 3.0 cables on this front panel, both cables worked fine in one USB 3.0 header and didn't work in the other USB 3.0 header on my new motherboard - must be a faulty 19-pin USB 3.0 connector on the be motherboard. correct? Revain sent me a new MSI motherboard and she did the same... It didn't make any sense. I also ordered a USB 3.0 19 pin Y cable and a new USB 3.0 card reader with a 19 pin cable. When they arrived I retested both 19 pin USB 3.0 headers on the MSI motherboard and both connectors worked fine... I sent the front panel back and Revain sent me a replacement. The swap worked fine in both 19-pin USB 3.0 headers on the motherboard. I've been tech support for mainframes for over 20 years and I've never seen cables fail like this, one connector working and one not. I don't know if the internal wiring is improperly shielded or what.
- Pleasant
- Low maintainability
