What this product is

The EN-Labs 11-001-183 is a new internal all-in-one card reader that fits a standard 5.25 inch bay. It adds six card slots and one front USB 3.0 port to a desktop or server through a single internal USB 2.0 connection. The black mesh faceplate suits chassis with a front mesh panel.

How it fits into a build

The unit mounts in a 5.25 inch drive bay using the supplied screws and draws power from the motherboard USB header. It provides one external USB 3.0 port for flash drives or peripherals while the reader itself runs at USB 2.0 480 Mbps speeds. No extra power cable is required.

What it replaces and when to upgrade

This reader replaces a missing or limited front-panel card slot on systems that still have a 5.25 inch bay. It supports CF, MS, MMC, SD, XD and TF cards up to 64 GB capacity. Builders who need faster internal transfer rates or who lack a free 5.25 inch bay should consider other form factors.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 2.0 interface limit sustained transfer speeds when I offload large batches of photos?

Yes, the internal USB 2.0 link caps throughput at 480 Mbps, so extended reads or writes will not exceed that rate.

Will the front-panel USB 3.0 port add noticeable heat or fan noise during all-day use?

The reader draws power from the USB bus and has no active cooling, so it adds negligible heat and no audible noise during continuous operation.

Which motherboard header must my system provide for the internal USB 2.0 connection?

A standard internal USB 2.0 header (nine-pin) is required; the included mounting screws secure the unit in a 5.25" bay.
