It's great to have so much connectivity on the same front panel. Unfortunately, USB 3.0 is becoming increasingly unstable, with frequent disconnections. So they're virtually unusable.
Much too expensive for what it is, but as there was a break on the 3.5" ' equivalent ' and I needed...
Very good card reader, 6 USB sockets including 2 in 3.0 and a SATA socket...
Good build and comes with plenty of installation material.
Perfect
Positive:
- Good product, functional.
- Cable long enough for an E-ATX box (except for the USB2 for large 900D boxes with CM connectors at the bottom 1/1000 people, the others go to the mm).
- Everything works, standard speed.
- is a long term solution
Big negative point:
- Takes dust from MD port ( The biggest one, camera card type, see picture).
- Almost impossible to clean.
So far no problems with Windows 10.
Tested:
- SD drive
- Micro-SD
- USB 3.0
- USB 2.0
I didn't connect the SATA because the cable was too short but I don't use the E-SATA anyway.

The card readers are slow (usb 2), with a maximum read rate of less than 20 MB/s.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a USB 2 card reader or a USB 3 card reader, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a USB 3 card reader or not.
The design is superb with a nice brushed metal finish.
The product is very solid on the outside and you can feel the quality of the materials.
Fits perfectly in a 5" bay (instead of a CD/DVD drive/writer).
As for the USB part, it works perfectly and I even keep some USB sticks always on it, no problem of recognition by Windows (Also tested on Windows 10).
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the card reader or not, but it's a good idea to use the card reader when it's not needed.
I bought it to have more USB on the front (I rarely use memory cards after all), to fill a bay and add a bit of style to my tower, so in that respect I'm not disappointed.
I have just received my tower with the Akasa reader, my opinion is very mixed on the product.
I wanted a reader to read the SD cards of my Nikon, unfortunately, they are not seen by the camera when inserted inside.
However, all the other ports work normally.
Very handy when you need more USB ports and card readers.
However, be careful to have enough connectivity available on your motherboard.
Nothing to say, the delivery was fast.
Product conforms to my expectations. However, only one usb 2.0 connector to manage the usb ports and the card reader, which results in a too low voltage to connect an external hard drive... It's a pity.
The SD card insertion is not the most practical and it is sometimes necessary to repeat several times...
All in all, it is still very useful...
