Kingwin Powered USB Hub 3.0 w/ 1 USB-C Port, SD Card Reader & Micro SD Card Reader - Sata Power Port w/Lightning Speed Data Transfer Up to 5Gbps - 5.25" Computer Case Front Bay, black (KW525-3U3CR)

I have a new-build PC. Discovered afterwards that the front panel had inadequate numbers of USB ports. I have Type-1 diabetes, and use the front panel USB ports to charge my pump while working. Bought this device, and a y-splitter USB hub for my mother board, and everything works perfectly. I don't have enough SATA data ports, so I left that unplugged. But otherwise everything is great.

This was exactly what I had been searching for. I wanted something with more than 5 USB 3.0 ports and this thing provides that. Now I did not have the connection on the motherboard to attach the wire they provide with it but I was able to use a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 cable to attach it to my PCI cards internal port. I have not had but one issue with it. I noticed a couple of times over the past two months with this that my usb drive would disconnect and reconnect on its own, noticed from the sounds Windows 10 makes when inserting or removing a USB device. I chalked it up to not having the motherboard port to plug the cable sent with this item as the reason. I am technically only using one USB 3.0 port instead of the two that the cable provided would have connected to. I still gave it 5 stars because it does work great for what I need and its no fault of the product that I didn't have it connected the way it suggests.

nice but tray should be deeper to an rear mounting hols. with all screw at front it angles down. had to shim it.

I have had this for about 2 years before writing a review. Overall it dose a decent job, I don't need lighting fast speeds when I am just transferring data over to my phone and back, or plugging in a controller. What I really wanted this for was the TF card slot because I do a lot of 3d printing. My biggest gripe is that the plastic is not 100% flush to the port so there has been multiple times where I go to insert the card at a weird angle and it dose not go into the port but falls into the hub itself and I have to find a way to fish out my card. That annoyance alone would had gotten this a 4 star but where it loses another star is that the TF port seems to be really iffy. Some day I can slot in cards just fine and it reads, other day I have to fiddle with the port to make it work and other days it just dose not read. I say this is nice, but I feel like the only reason this has so many positive reviews is because they are basically the only one on the market. Its reaching a point where I think I'll just get a type C hub and find something else for the front bay drive.

Nice 5.25 bay external device connection plate. Lots of various memory card and USB ports. I did have to add some material inside to prevent micros SD cards from disappearing in the gap. Fortunately a previous reviewer warned of this issue so I made the correction before installation. My new motherboard had all the parts necessary to make all of the connections useable. I can connect my iPhone, charge my MP3 player, connect external drives and the black faceplate matches my PC case. Good deal for the price.

In summary, I have to echo the complaints made by other reviewers: 1) Cheaply made 2) Poorly designed 3) Does not work well To be specific, the unit cheapness of the unit can be seen in several areas. First off, as others have said, the attachment screws are cheap wood screws not machine threads and screw into smooth plastic holes, cutting the threads into the plastic holes as you screw. CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN as you will strip the plastic out. Second the circuit boards are fully exposed. Better made units enclose the circuit boards in a metal case with shield them from EMF interference and protect them. Saves them a few bucks = cheaply made. Third, the USB 3 cable coming out of the unit is way to short to reach anything inside a tower case - which is the type of case you would have with a 5.25 inch front panel accessory. So I had to buy an extension cable. But beyond that, the cable connector is a cheap piece of S**T and you can't tell if it is snugged properly into it's mate. Bad design... and CHEAP. Now, this I knew in advance and should have realized, but the card reader slots are on USB 2.0 and are Soooo SLOOOW. It was about 1/4 the speed I got with an external USB card reader I was trying to replace. So that's on me. But still, WTF? Why not have all slots go on USB 3? (The replacement I got did have card slots on USB 3). Finally, the icing on the cake was the damn thing didn't work consistently. Sometimes it would work fine and others it would lose the drive in the middle of copying a file. I know that it's hard to find a 5.25" card reader with USB 3.0. What I ended up doing was getting the 3.5" model from StarTech (35FCREADBU3) and a $5 adapter (BRACKETFDBK) to fit it in the 5.25" bay. Solid build and works like a champ at full USB 3.0 speeds across the board. Cheers!

I was able to install this in my desktop with no problems and all of the ports work fine. I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend this for someone with the larger 5.25 bay available on their desktop. However, there are a few items that should have been listed in the product description: - The card slots are only USB 2.0. This fact is listed if you look at the product pictures, but is not described on the product page. I was a bit disappointed with this but since all the ports work fine I'm going to keep the hub. - There is a molex power connection on the hub so you want to make sure you have an extra molex power connection available.

Great product, It has a molex connection, so you can go from the psu and sata only to power it instead of the other connections. Only thing that wasn't described of the thing, but yeah very good and effective uprade for data cards and expanding ports and gaining a usb c type if you don't have one. Great speeds.

Me gusto mucho, muy práctico porque agregó muchos usb's, yo lo conseguí a muy buen precio, por lo que fue una buena compra. (Edición) Trabaja muy bien y sin problemas, reconoce y transfiere datos a mi Poco X3 Pro y al Y9 Prime 2019, puedo conectar ventiladores y memorias y todo bien, la salida que es de carga rápida, me carga como normal, pero esto no es ningún inconveniente ya que no la compre por eso sino por agregar tantos puertos USB aun buen precio, en México las he visto arriba de los 700 u 900 pesos.

Funciona genial y es justo lo que necesitaba, plástico suave lo que provoca un poco de dificultad de instalar correctamente en algunos gabinetes. Pero es muy buen producto con tods prestaciones que da. Completamente compatible con Windows 10 y una tarjeta madre Asus con Ryzen

Works great as an upgrade for older PC to bring ports to front of tower.
