Tccmebius TCC-QL5E 5.25 Inch PC Multifunction Dashboard Media Front Panel, With SATA e-SATA Dual USB 3.0 6 port USB 2.0 Audio Ports and Five-in-one Card Reader (SD/MMC/CF/MS/TF / M2)

Lots of outlets. Works well.

As you can see from the photo my PC Multifunction Dashboard Media Front Panel, With SATA e-SATA Dual USB, is attached to my front panel. During this lockdown and using Zoom 3 times a week, with the camera, microphone and headphone, it is so easy to have all the required sockets on the front of the computer, so not having to use the back. Fitting was easy, screws are given to mount it and all the cables. You need a spare power lead on your PSU, and be at least 300w to power all the sockets. You also need a Sata free, and an audio connection free on your motherboard. I do build my own desktops so I am used to delving in the box, but I found adding this to my computer was straight forward to do, and you get a light when the computer is up and running. A lovely piece of kit, everyone should have one.

2nd time of buying one of these. Why? while plugging a USB cable into the USB port (the tower case is on the floor) I managed to accidentality tried plugging it into that uncovered power connector. A few sparks and I lost the USB 2 side of things. Whether there was damage to this unit, I decided not to go down the route of trying things out to see what was damaged. All I know is that Windows said the USB 2 side wasn't reporting. Fortunately because of the number of items I have already plugged into the USB side I'd bought a USB 1 to 4 interface card that sat between this unit and the motherboard. It looks like that took the hit. Having replaced both that card and this unit, all is back to normal. To prevent a repeat, I found a plastic cover in my bits and pieces box that fits nicely over that power receptacle, such it is no longer open to the world.As to the unit itself. The reason for buying it was that my USB ports on the case had got a little bit worn out. This unit does the biz of replacing them. As already mentioned in a review elsewhere, you might have to buy some extension cables - I had to for the audio side. I found the graphic card got in the way when routing the cable to the motherboard connector - another 50mm and it would have been fine. Other than that it works a treat.

I bought this to use with my external SATA dock that has a ESATA & a SATA connection with a normal USB 2.0 connection for accessing the drives. However the USB ports work with the same speeds I got connecting directly into the back of my motherboard. However, the ESATA & SATA speeds are 1/3 of that I got connecting directly into the board, despite this having 2 SATA connectors you connect to the board for the SATA & ESATA ports, so somewhere between the wire connection & the port, there's a significant drop in speeds. And yes, I did connect the 4 pin Molex power.Another significant issue I noticed is the ESATA & SATA ports are very flimsy & do not hold the cables in securely. I've tried cables with the metal holding clips & ones without, it made no difference. The connection keeps breaking & I have to wiggle the wire a certain way for it to establish a connection again & as soon as I let go, it's gone again.I chose this because it had the brand engraved on top, so a little more effort to brand something I hoped would mean better quality, but I was wrong.The only positive is the memory cards work & I have more USB ports at the front, but the SATA & ESATA are useless & it was for those I bought this.

So many cables to attach to motherboard it took ages and my 10yr old motherboard didn't have all the connection points required, so I can only get limited functionality of the device. Still good value, and works well for sd card reading and adding usb ports to pc front. It is a bit flimsy, but works fine.

Straightforward installation, had to sacrifice a rear USB3 set to plug this one in to get them at the front but once plugged in, all worked well

My old card reader was playing up, so I needed a good one for photography and creating a music SD card for my car. This does the job. My PC runs Windows 7 and the motherboard could not accommodate all the connectors. I have ordered a PCI Express card to connect the 20 pin USB3 connector. It is not a product shortcoming but the shortcoming of my old motherboard. I am very happy with this item.

The media could not be loaded. Great value for money my only downfall is my mother board doesnt have a usb 3.0 slot but other than that everything else works 100%.
