Front-panel card reader with USB hub

The EN-Labs U3CR35U32UCM fits a 3.5-inch drive bay and adds an SD slot, a Micro SD slot, one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port and two USB 3.0 Type-A ports. It is designed for desktop builders who want front-access card reading and extra USB connections without using rear motherboard ports.

Metal chassis with internal 20-pin header

A metal case provides durability for daily insertion of cards and cables. The unit requires a single USB 20-pin header on the motherboard to power the hub and card reader functions. Installation is plug-and-play and the front-panel layout keeps cables tidy inside the chassis.

One USB 20-pin header required

The product needs an available USB 20-pin header on the motherboard; systems lacking this internal connector cannot use the hub or card reader. Buyers whose boards have no spare 20-pin header should look for an alternative that uses a different internal interface.
