My new case has 4 USB 3.0 ports

I used this cable to connect two of the 4 USB 3.0 ports to the USB 2.0 port on my new motherboard. All 4-3.0 USB ports are now working. i would buy again

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • Speed

works on Asus Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3

I had no problems with my Asus Prime X570-Pro Ryzen 3 motherboard, it could accept the USB C port on the motherboard (and the USB 2.0 port) to allow a USB 3.0 port on the front of my case.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Compatibility

Just works fine for plugs and adapters

I installed a memory card reader on a blank drive on the front of my computer and it contained two USB 3.0 ports as I didn't have an extra USB 3.0. Plug in my motherboard and I had an extra 2.0. This item worked great.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some cons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well in connectors and adapters

I took one when I discovered to my horror that my motherboard only has 1 USB 3.0 port and I can't connect the 4 ports on my front case (my fault, didn't learn well enough) so I had to pipe the extra 3.0 through the 2.0 headers and it worked great. 2.0 speeds are better than 2 dead USB 3.0 ports lol. so life is.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Has imperfections

Works well as expected for audio and video accessories

Works as advertised. Required to connect the top of my ATX case to my old motherboard that didn't have USB 3.0 ports. Just note that there are no USB 3.0 speeds, it's downgraded to standard 2.0 speeds, but that's better than not working at all!

Pros
  • Plugs and adapters
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Works well: Accessories and consumables

I picked one up when I realized to my horror that there was only 1 USB 3.0 port on my motherboard and I couldn't connect the 4 ports on my front case (my fault, I didn't research it well enough) so I had to pipe the extra 3.0 through the 2.0 headers and it worked great. 2.0 speeds are better than 2 dead USB 3.0 ports lol. so life is.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Crumpled

Plug and play, easy to use, works.

My motherboard had two 10-pin USB 2.0 connectors but only one 20-pin USB 3.0 connector, except for the USB-C connector. Need a case for it. TWO USB 3.0 and one USB-C. This product was introduced to expand the use of the USB 2.0 port. It seems to work with the devices I've tried to connect. I'm happy with that. I haven't tested the speeds, but I can't complain for the price and value.

Pros
  • AV Accessories
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
