Our take on the USB2.0 Hub Front Panel, Sturdy Metal Construction 5.25 Inch Optical Drive Front Panel with Screws for 5.25 Inch PC Computer Case

This is a 5.25-inch bay insert that adds four USB 2.0 ports to the front of a desktop PC. It connects to the motherboard's internal 19-pin USB header with a 60 cm cable and mounts in an optical drive slot. The ports are USB 2.0 only, so transfers cap at 480 Mbps. It suits older cases and builds that need front ports without a modern case's I/O panel.

Questions and answers

Will this work with my motherboard?
Only if your board has a free internal 19-pin USB 2.0 header. Check the board manual before buying. Many modern boards have one or two.
Is it USB 3.0?
No. All four ports are USB 2.0, so expect up to 480 Mbps. That is fine for keyboards, mice and printers but slow for external drives.
What fits in the bay?
It installs in a standard 5.25-inch front optical drive slot. It will not fit 3.5-inch floppy bays without an adapter.
What is in the box?
One front panel hub and five screws. The 60 cm cable is attached.
Is it worth it over a USB 3.0 front panel?
Only if your board lacks a USB 3.0 header or you just need basic ports. A USB 3.0 panel is faster for the same bay space.
