Front-panel upgrade for 3.5" bays

This Vszerda bracket converts a free 3.5-inch floppy bay into two USB 3.0 ports plus headphone and microphone jacks. It suits desktop builders who want modern front I/O without replacing the case. The black finish matches most chassis interiors.

19-pin internal header required

The bracket connects to a single 19-pin USB 3.0 header on the motherboard and a separate 9-pin audio header for the HD Audio ports. If the board lacks the 19-pin connector the USB ports will not function, so verify that header before buying.

Tool-free fit with short cables

The unit slides into the open bay and secures with the five supplied screws. A 60 cm cable reaches most motherboard headers in mid-tower cases, but can fall short in full-tower or bottom-mounted board layouts. No external power or drivers are needed; Windows XP through 8.1 recognise it immediately.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gb/s rating mean when the bracket is installed in a desktop?

The two USB 3.0 ports can each reach up to 5 Gb/s with a compatible device and motherboard header; real-world throughput depends on the connected drive and system load.

Which motherboard headers does the 19-pin plus 9-pin cable connect to, and what limits apply?

The 19-pin plugs into a USB 3.0 front-panel header and the 9-pin into an HD-audio header; bandwidth is capped at 5 Gb/s and audio follows the onboard codec.

Will this fit my case’s 3.5-inch bay and how is it secured?

It mounts in any standard 3.5-inch front bay using the five included screws; the 60 cm cables reach most motherboard header locations.
