GRAUGEAR 5.25 Inch 10Gbps USB 3.2 PC Front Panel Card Reader with Audio Ports, SD/microSD Internal Card Reader, USB3.2 Type-E Key-A 20-Pin Header & USB3.0 Header & 15-Pin SATA Power Connector Required

This thing is great. I was looking for an extra front panel to give me a few more USB ports, some card readers, and some extra audio ports. I've got a tendency of breaking audio jacks, so having some that would theoretically be replacable is helpful.What I *didn't* expect was for the audio coming out of these ports to be better than the audio coming out of the case jacks that are connected directly onto the motherboard. Not sure how they did it, but it works great.All of the USB ports and both mini and full size SD card readers work without a hitch as well. Really solid little device here to add a little extra functionality to your desktop.

I would give it five stars, but it wasn't really built to fit into modern day tool-less cases. My case have clamps that hold 5.25-inch drives into the bays. The product is rather stubby and doesn't quite reach the area where the clamping force can be applied to it. This means it shift out of place when you try to plug something into the USBs or microphone\headphone jacks. I was able to find a trick to help with this. There was one hole I was able two find that was going through the plastic clamps that was visible. In my case, the 5.25-inch bays are slotted vertically so hole was visible from the top and not the side like you would expect. I couldn't really see below too well, there might have been a hole there too. I was able to make the one hole work out in my favor though and used one of my case's thumb screws to tightened it in place to hold one side of the product. It held well enough for me to plug things into the ports with minimal movement of the drive. The drive still fit neatly, if it shifts slightly when plugging things in it; it will just pop back out and be flush with the edges again. I like the looks and fitment of it. Though I have a white case with a black air intake grill; I also have a very old Samsung Blu-ray drive that is matt black with a black gloss disk tray. The product seems to slot right beside it and fit with its matt black finish and gloss black strip.In addition to two other USB 3.0 ports that was already on my case, I now have an addition two USB 3.2 ports along with two USB-C ports. My case now has more high-speed USB ports than I know what to do with thanks my new motherboard which has all 10Gbps USB ports and 20Gbps USB-C ports. There are no slow ports on my motherboard. Just so much flexibility to be able to plug things in from either side since my case faces sideway so I can view the internals facing me from the glass side panel, instead of having glass side panel face against the wall.

Fit and works perfectly. Was able to make all the connections to my motherboard, so all interfaces work so far (USB ports, card readers).

Good quality construction and works great.

Purchased item March 12th. It did not arrive until March 24th. Item is dead on arrival. I verified that my SATA power connector works fine by plugging an HDD into it. I verified that motherboard USB3 wide connector works fine - I can plug in my case USB cable into it and it works fine. None of the ports/functions work on this unit. I'm guessing it's a power issue with the unit. I'm getting a replacement. I hope I don't regret it. I will probably have to wait a while again and I hope I don't get another dud.Here's an update a couple of days later. I submitted a request for a replacement from Amazon and in two days it showed up. I'm having the exact same problem - replacement unit is completely dead. Again, when I plug the same blue 19/20 pin cable from the front of the case into this MSI motherboard, the USB ports work fine. I'm completely stumped. I sent an email to [email protected] with the details of the mobo and pictures of the connectors plugged in. We'll see if they respond and how helpful they are.Update as of 3/29/25. Received no emails or call from support. Returning both original and replacement units to Amazon. Will not puchase from this vendor again.

Highly effective multipurpose 5.25 bay device. Shipping was fast and the item arrived on time. 10/10 would buy from this seller again.

Very convenient way to get more USB ports, a card reader, and audio. The card reader is better than a USB 2.0 card reader, but not as fast as the best USB 3.0 card readers. The sequential read speed tops out in the 40-43 MB/s range, compared to 94 MB/s with a fast reader, and the sequential write speed maxes out 35-36 MB/s. However, these figures exceed the performance of many common SD and microSD cards, so it may not matter for you. Interestingly, the random read and write performance is a little better with this reader than my fast reader.

Great build and easy to setup for 3.2 usb c with a media card reader. Added witha usb motherboard splitter the old case is now way up to date.
