Review: High Performance USB3.2 Gen 2x2 - I purchased this to use with a new motherboard in an old case. I have a decades old Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case that I still love (despite its old school cable management), but the original front panel has only USB-A 2.0 connectivity. The case also has only 5.25" bays in front, so a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter was used to install the front panel. (Graugear also sells a version of this front panel already installed in a 5.25" adapter, which I wasn't aware of at the time of purchase.) The new motherboard has an on-board USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connector to which the front panel USB-C port connector is attached. I recently acquired a Sandisk Extreme 1TB Portable SSD that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, and Crystal DiskMark reports a 1.975 GB/s sequential read speed when connected through the Graugear USB-C front panel connector. While the theoretical transfer rate is 20 GB/s, the actual maximum data transfer rate is limited by USB transfer overhead to about 2.5 GB/s. The Sandisk Extreme SSD specifies a 2 GB/s max sequential read speed. This Graugear front panel looks nice, performs well and is inexpensive. I'm not sure why they call it a USB Hub, because it appears to have only cables and connectors that extend two USB-A ports and one USB-C port from the main board to the front panel. This is exactly what I was looking for, as opposed to an active hub that could add latency and limit performance. I've been using this front panel for several months now and have been very happy with its appearance, performance and reliability. Nice product.
Review: Good Quality Front Panel USB Hub - Lost two top panel USB 2.0 ports on my PC when I upgraded it with a new motherboard. The new motherboard does not have enough USB 2.0 headers but does have a 3.0 header which requires an external hub like this. Very happy to find it on desertcart at a very reasonable price. It fits in the front 2.5" bay perfectly and with its good build quality, it looks nice too. Not only did I get the lost USB ports back, they are now USB 3.0 instead of 2.0. Tested with external USB 3.0 hard drive, it performed flawlessly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Added 3 USB Ports
*by A***S on April 28, 2025*

It is very handy to have additional front panel USB ports and I appreciate the speed of the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port. This installs easily in a 3.5" opening in my mid tower case. It runs perfectly with Windows 11 installing the drivers on boot up. My one problem was that one of the two USB 19/20 pin sockets on the motherboard was already occupied by front panel USB ports and the other one on the motherboard was at right angles (parallel to the motherboard). I am sure that is done to clear the GPUs. However, the MB is in an indent in the case structure and the 19/20 plug would not clear the case when plugged in. Amazon to the rescue - I bought a PCI - E card with two sockets for 19/20 pin USB cables. The Graugear board had a long enough cable to reach the card at the back of the case and I was good to go. I hope this helps others installing this USB expansion
