5.25" front panel card reader and hub

This internal 5.25" unit combines a USB 2.0 all-in-one card reader with a USB 3.0 hub and eSATA port. It fits a standard front bay and connects via motherboard USB 3.0 20-pin and USB 2.0 10-pin headers. The panel adds three USB 3.0 Type-A ports and one USB 3.1 Type-C port.

Builders who want front access to legacy cards

It suits builders who need to read CF, SD, XD, TF, M2 or Memory Stick media up to 32 GB capacity. The USB 3.0 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps bandwidth and remain backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. Users requiring faster card interfaces or internal drive bays should consider other options.

USB 2.0 card reader limited to 32 GB media

The integrated card reader operates over USB 2.0 and supports maximum memory capacities of 32 GB. This specification determines whether your existing media will work at full capacity.

Questions about this item

Do I need specific motherboard headers to connect the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 parts of this panel?

Yes, the panel requires a USB 3.0 20-pin header and a USB 2.0 10-pin header on your motherboard for the hub and card reader to function.

Will my older USB 2.0 flash drives work at full speed in the three Type-A ports?

The three USB 3.0 Type-A ports are backwards compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices, so older drives will work at their native speed.

How can I confirm the card reader is reading my 32 GB CF card correctly after installation?

Insert the card; it should appear in File Explorer with the correct capacity and allow error-free file transfers to and from the drive.
