## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working great so far, no power adapter needed
*by C***K on July 29, 2021*

I appreciate that this device, with only 2 ports, does not need any extra rails from the power supply. I have purchased two of these now, one which plugs directly into a Z87 board, and one which plugs into an Inateck USB 3 PCI-Express adapter, and both work perfectly so far. USB 3 speeds, and nothing shorting out or lighting on fire. I even spray-painted one of them silver to match the computer case.I haven't plugged/unplugged many times, but the fit between a USB plug and the jack on this device is nice and firm, but not too tight.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make sure you have a front panel opening to put this in
*by D***C on February 13, 2023*

Do I like these? I have purchased 15 over the last 4 years and none have had a failure. Make sure you also purchase a 3-1/2" to 5-1/4" adapter if you don't have an open "floppy drive" slot to put this in. The cord length is excellent and has reached USB headers on every motherboard I have installed them on. Don't have a USB3 header on your board? Then get a short little adapter that converts the USB3 plug on this device to a USB2 plug for your board. The USB slots on this device work just as well with USB2.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good product at a good price to update using an old case.
*by C***R on December 6, 2020*

I put new components in a old case that pre-dated USB 3, so I bought this to be the front panel. Works fine and the mechanics of the pugs seem good. I would recommend this as having the most bang for the buck if you just want two USB 3 ports.
