No regret though for the other usb 3 ports! Review: High quality built and work as expected. - Received the item on time and is as expected. The item seem like high quality built of metal/aluminum. Installed into my mid ATX tower case and the there is enough cable from to top slot on the case to the motherboard's internal usb 3 connector. The speed is good for USB 3 as moving/copying files from external usb hard drive to internal SSD consistent of 125 MB/s transfer rate. Coping/moving files from internal SSD to external USB HD (5400 RPM) is speed around 75-80 MB/s due to slower write speed of the external hard drive. Not yet test USB C because I don't have any UBC C device. So far I am happy with the item and it is worked as advertised. ## Features - 【20Gbps High Speed】USB-C port features the latest USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard, which supports an extremely fast data transmission rate up to 20 Gbps. It is faster enough to transfer of files within a short time. (Type-c standard cable is inherently be able to operate at both USB Type-C Gen 2 10Gbps and Gen 2x2 20Gbps speeds. The 20Gbps specialized port is required on the device to meet the full 20Gbps transfer speed.) USB 3.0 ports, compliant with the USB 3.0 standard, support up to 5Gbps of bandwidth, which enables you to connect variety of your USB devices with ease. - 【Wide Compatibility】Compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7.

Quickly adds ports through available 19-pin USB3.0 and 20-pin USB3.2 Key-A Type-E headers for connecting a variety of external USB devices. Make sure that your motherboard have both headers before buying, some old motherboards do not have 20-pin USB3.2 Key-A Type-E header and would suggest to install with an USB Front Panel Adapter which converts USB 3.0 header into a USB3.2 Type-E Key-A 20-Pin connector or a Type-E PCIe Card which converts PCIe slot into a USB3.2 Type-E connector. - 【Stability and Safety】Sturdy construction ensures a long service life and durability, and package contains 6 screws to make it more stable.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - GRAUGEAR 3.5 Inch Front Panel USB Hub, Internal USB Hub with 20Gbps USB3.2 Gen2 USB-C and USB 3.0 Ports, USB3.2 Type-E Key-A 20-Pin Header & USB3.0 Header Required, Fits 3.5" PC Computer Case [G-MP01] - StarTech.com 3.5" to 5.25" Front Bay Mounting Bracket w/ Mounting Screws (BRACKETFDBK),Black - BEYIMEI PCI-E 1X to USB 3.2 GEN1 5Gbps 20pin Front Panel Header (to Type-c Front Panel Header) + USB 3.0 19Pin Socket Expansion Card,Type-E Internal 20-pin Front Panel Connector Riser Card --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/456750160-3-5-inch-front-panel-usb-hub-internal-usb-hub](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/456750160-3-5-inch-front-panel-usb-hub-internal-usb-hub) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
