Four-port USB 3.0 front-panel hub for 3.5-inch bay

This Vszerda adapter adds four USB 3.0 ports to a desktop front panel using a single motherboard 20-pin header. It draws auxiliary power from a SATA connector to deliver up to 900mA per port. The unit fits a standard 3.5-inch floppy bay and uses a GL3520 chipset. It is intended for builders who want extra front-facing SuperSpeed ports without occupying rear I/O.

SuperSpeed 5Gbps limited by single 20-pin header

The hub operates at USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed 480Mbps and USB 1.1 Low-Speed 1.5Mbps. Because all four ports share one 20-pin connection, aggregate throughput cannot exceed the header’s single-lane limit. Devices that require sustained maximum bandwidth on multiple ports simultaneously will contend for that shared link. Buyers who need independent 5Gbps lanes for each port should consider a multi-header or PCIe solution.

Copper construction with SATA power and 20-pin

The cable assembly uses copper conductors and measures 3.94 x 3.94 x 0.39 inches, weighing 0.71 ounces. A SATA power plug supplies the 900mA per-port current budget, so a free SATA lead from the power supply is required. The 20-pin motherboard connector occupies one front-panel USB header. Builders whose boards lack a spare 20-pin header or whose power supplies have no available SATA connectors cannot install this hub without additional adapters.
