Quality product and good price
Easily installed this 2 port USB 3.0 panel into my older Gigabyte computer case that only has built-in USB 2.0 ports. Connected up fine to my new Asus ROG Strix B550-F motherboard. Inserted a flash drive into it and installed Windows 11. All good. Would recommend.

No problems with it, works as it should

Screw length COULD be an issue
I just received my adapter and installed it. It is significant to note that you should use the screws that come with the unit. I assumed, at first, that the screws I took out of the case to remove the 3 1/2" blank cover should fit. They DON"T! I do agree, as others have said, the screws are quite short. I was able to get all four of them to work, but only just. If you're interested ahead of time get longer M3 screws and you will be fine. Nice unit and well made. It plugged right in and worked as advertised.

Build quality good, but wrong length screws and too wide to fit case.
This unit looks great, build quality is great, and it performs its intended function perfectly. That being said, it is all true that the other reviewers have stated. The face is about 1/2 millimeter wider than it should be and you will almost certainly have to modify your case to make it fit. Add to this the fact that the screws are exactly 1/2 as long as they should be and this unit would be a nightmare for the average person to get installed properly. The only way I was able to get it installed is that I had screws left over from another similar unit that I bought from China that was defective so I was able to use those screws on this unit. If not for that, I never would have been able to get this unit properly installed with the screws that came with it. -1 star for including the wrong length screws and -1 star for being physically too wide to fit my case for a total of 3 stars.

It was nearly perfect!
Great idea, small tray in floppy disk dimensions. The cables were excellent, the design sturdy and made just right. They supplied screws. The connector plugged into motherboard just right with right amount of snap. My problem was the cable was too short. I was installing into a tower, floppy slot at top and the cable, to plug into the motherboard on the lower edge, was seven inches too short! How did I miss that detail in the description? My problem, not theirs. The product was excellent.

Does What I Need for an Affordable Price
This is a no-frills panel that brings two USB 3.0 type "A" ports to the front of your PC. It fits perfectly into a 3.5" drive bay. This is not a "hub" per se, but rather two ports connected via a cable to a 19-pin USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. Since it doesn't split the data path into additional ports, there is no speed loss. It is well-built, the connectors fit solidly, and the connecting cord is rugged and long enough to easily reach just about any motherboard header. Other hubs provide multiple "A" and/or "C" ports if you need them, but they also carry a higher price and loss of speed due to splitting the data path.

Typical Chinese Garbage
The face plate is too big to fit into the 3.5" hole in the front of a case. Because of this you can't line it up to screw the screws in. What apiece of garbage.

Passive two-port USB3 panel works like a charm
This installed cleanly into a floppy-drive slot in my case. I did need to trim some of the plastic of my case's opening, but that's the fault of the case, not this mounting bracket. I'd have had to do the same thing if I'd mounted something else there. Once mounted, I was able to plug the cable into my motherboard's internal USB 3 header (no problems with cable length on my system), and now I have two USB 3 plugs up front where I can reach them conveniently. I'm writing Linux images onto MicroSD cards and this really helps. In case you're wondering, I use a SanDisk SDDR-B531 adapter to write to their ImageMate Pro or Extreme Plus MicroSD cards and see 70-90 Mbytes/second write times. Read times are upwards of 125 Megabytes/second. No, I don't work for them and and haven't received any products/payment for mentioning them. I'm just a happy customer, especially now that I don't have to reach around the back of my computer to get to my USB 3 ports!
