BYEASY Front Panel USB 3.0 Hub, 5 Ports 3.5 Inches Internal Metal USB Hub with 2 USB 3.0 Ports, SD/TF Internal Card Reader and USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type C Port Fits Any 3.5" Floppy Disk Bay

I got this to have a usb c port for my Quest 2 to play PC VR games on, and since it has additional power I thought it might charge or slow the battery drain of the headset.I was a little concerned with a name like "ByEasy" .. but it works as I had hoped, and the headset only slowly discharges while in use with this. About 1% battery loss every 20 minutes, so you could go quite a long time with it plugged in.The card readers and USB 3.0 ports are an added bonus and also work very well. No more external Micro SD card adapter needed!Install could be a pain if your PC doesn't have the correct ports / power plugs so make sure it does before ordering. You also need to have a floppy drive bay to install this to. There are adapters for DVD slots available.Going on about 6 months of use now and working fine. I would recommend.

I have a specific use case for this USB Hub. I was rebuilding on older PC, which had a mutli-card reader on the front of the case, but limited USB ports on the front. Memory cards have mostly standardized since that original hub came with the case, so I had no need for 6 different card readers, and I wanted to add USB functionality. This was also a form factor I could use.It comes with a cable to plug into the USB 3 slot on the motherboard. Based on other reviews, I decided to try not using the supplied power cable, and that worked fine. In wasn’t needed to have all the USB and memory card slots function, at least for my install. I did have to make s small adjustment for mounting, as once it was flush in the front, it would have a tendency to slide back a little when I inserted something into it. That was easily fixed by drilling through the case mounting rail where there was a single non-slotted hole, and into the mounting frame of the hub, so I could put a screw in that had no play or slot to move in.This was an inexpensive way to get me a card reader and USB 3 functionality on the front of my case, and was pretty easy to install.

So you have a Desktop with a 5.25" bay, and you want to use SD cards and newer USB C drives without dongles...The solution is simple: install a card readerThe problem is complex: finding a card reader that isn't dog s$&tEverything becomes difficult the moment you need to read SD cards. The only viable option I have found is from StarTech. Everything else is plagued with constant complaints of poor/cheap design, ports stopping working (or never working), or USB 2.0 connections.Enter ByEasy...the sole saving grace. Enough narrative, here are the pros and cons:Pros:1. SOLID METAL CONSTRUCTION: NO PLASTIC GARBAGE2. Premium look and feel: board is black to match the bracket, no exposed ketchup/mustard wires, no hot glue3. One single USB 3.0 Type A connector for the hub: That's it; run a single High Speed USB 3.0 Type A to 19-Pin USB 3.0 Header cable and you are DONE4. Micro SD card LOCKS IN PLACE: You have no idea how rare this feature is; it is a joy to insert and remove Micro SD Cards5. Other ports are properly machined: Insert easily, are not loose, and instantly register in WindowsPro-cons (Good and bad lol)1. No LED to indicate connectivity: people often complain that these are too bright, so maybe a good thing2. 3.5" (Floppy) Size: While you will likely have to buy a cheap 3.5 to 5.25 adapter, this allows for maximum compatibility across systemsCONS:1. Yes, there is a computer power issue with the SATA splitter; do not connect the hub to power, only USB. Charge your devices somewhere else.2. Yes, there is a ByEasy logo displayed prominently on the card; I personally think it looks quite modern, but the pictures are deceptive. Can be removed with Rubbing Alcohol3. Yes, the SD card is inserted upside down...whatever4. Cannot use Micro SD Card and SD card ports simultaneously (see next point)5. Reserved Drive Letters: Alright, save for avoidable power issues, this is the only real con. As another review has elaborated, this device chooses what Drive Letters it wants to use (and not Windows for some reason), and will reserve a drive letter for SD Cards (even if they are not inserted). This can cause conflicts in rare scenarios where you have manually selected the same drive letters for Network Drives and in cases like mine where your SD card has 2 volumes on it (it was a pain to troubleshoot).Of course, my unit was not DOA or defective, and I *may* encounter problems in the future with ports dying, but my worries are put to rest as other users have praised their customer support.Yes, this IS the card reader you are looking for (if you have read all of that).
