memory card readers and USB 3.0 on the front!

Classic front panel card reader with two small pluses, the micro card reader (avoids having an adapter) and especially the USB 3.0 on the front panel, to avoid running behind the tower for faster file transfers

Does not work

The memory card reader part must have worked for a few minutes... Since then, nothing, no more blue light, no more recognized in windows 10 last version (1903). Even the "in-house" firmware update app doesn't see it anymore. Only the USB 3 port works. In short, useless

        Versatility

        Mounted on an Antec VSK-4000B-U3/U2 enclosure for hardware upgrade, it offers true versatility in reading memory devices. The integration is seamless on the front of the case.

        Useful

        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a 21-pin USB3 socket available on the motherboard, otherwise an adaptor will do the trick; depending on the model, you may have to sacrifice the USB output of the drive

        Practice

        No more cables to retrieve photos regardless of the type of card used in the camera. The front USB socket is more convenient than the ones on my tower, which are located on the top of the tower and not easily accessible under the desk.

        Good if driver up to date

        Good product, easy to install but only works correctly (among others under Windows 7 64 bits) if you have the latest version of the driver which can be found at the following address: http://www.raidsonic.de/en/standards/driver.php

        not functional under linux

        Can't get it to work properly, too many I/O errors.
        I'm not sure if the usb3 port is connected directly to one of the two usb3 outputs on the motherboard, but apparently not. Even installing the system by plugging the usb stick into this port does not work. The same usb stick plugged into a usb3 port behind the motherboard worked.
        Reading a compact flash drive: slower than with an external usb2 drive.

        It is quite possible that this is due to linux.
        I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I'm sure it's the same thing, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

        Good.

        Not much to say, certainly less and less people install this kind of products and prefer an external drive.
        I'm fed up with seeing wires all around my pc
        and that takes a usb input as well.
        It's very easy to use, you have everything you need to work.
        I recommend

        ICY BOX IB-865

        Hello to all,

        A brief description of this product which looks nice. A blue light is permanently on to indicate active power. While the green one indicates the use of an SD card etc.. Integrating perfectly with the silverstone FP55. The installation is simple and allows EVERYONE to do it without problems.

        Good product, I recommend it to you. It will save you from losing and misplacing your USB- MICRO-SD adapter keys.

        Good product!

        It does what it is asked to do without any reluctance to do it!
        No problem with the installation, functional right away!

        Just a comment

        Works as expected. The connector matches the USB 3.0 connector on my new motherboard perfectly, so it couldn't have been easier to install.
        The only thing is that there are 2 LEDs, one blue and one red. The blue one is always on and the red one never lights up. As there is no description of the purpose of the LEDs in the manual, I don't know if this is normal. In any case, it doesn't prevent read/write operation, which is the main thing.

        very good

        for the price does the job perfectly
        I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a usb3.0 or a usb3.0 with the box, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use a usb3.0 with a usb3.0.
        I recommend

        Exchanged in record time...

        The first ICY BOX I ordered was faulty. The exchange was done in record time by LDLC (less than a week) and the exchanged device was exactly what I needed. The device was perfect for reading photo/video cards of all formats and added an extra usb3 port.
