CLEAR

Good value for money. Comes with 2 cords to connect the hub to the motherboard, either with the 2 x AF to 20 Pin Adapter connector on the motherboard, or to a USB 3.0 port on the back of the case.

Unusable

I am very disappointed with this product, works for the first 5 minutes and then the external drive that is plugged in is not detected. I first thought it was a problem with my external storage device, but it works perfectly when I plug it into a USB 3.0 port on the back of my PC.

        drive too fragile

        The reader works perfectly. However, on each of the USB sockets, the blue part that serves as a coding device broke off quite quickly. So there's no more coding, with the risk of a short-circuit if you connect the USB cable the wrong way round.
        As a result, these plugs are no longer usable.

        Very good

        I upgraded my old tower to have USB 3.0 on the front. Fulfils its role perfectly. Reliability to be seen over time.

        Defective product

        Fairly simple installation and usb C port OK.
        However, the micro SD card reader is faulty.
        Obviously, LDLC refused to honour the warranty, so I won't be buying this product again (or anything else from LDLC).

        simply perfect

        The product has already been installed for three weeks. It enabled me to recycle a mid-tower case that didn't have a USB3 port on the front panel. Once it was plugged in (the cable linking the usb3 connector on the motherboard to the icy box was supplied, and once a sata power supply had been connected to it), it was immediately recognised without a hitch. It's a pleasure to have three ports on the front (2 USB 3.0 type A and one USB type C) and a micro-sd and SD card reader that's directly accessible.

        Very good product

        This is an excellent product.
        The manual doesn't mention the SATA power supply that needs to be connected in addition to the USB cable supplied with the case. Once plugged in, everything is fine and you can finally take full advantage of USB 3.2 at full speed. It allows you to recycle old mechanical disks that are dusty in USB 2.

        Perfect

        I received it with a lot of delay, which is only due to the Belgian post office and not to LDLC, I immediately put it in my tower.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to have it in my tower. Immediate detection under win 11.
        It works perfectly.
        I recommend this product if it fits your needs.

        Perfect and fast ordering

        I'm very pleased with this product and it works very well. It allows you to have a real modern USB hub (USB 3.0, USB C, SD and microSD) on the front of your tower. Perfect for a budding photographer!

        Does not work or does not correspond to the technical descriptions

        This item only detects USB2 devices and some USB3 drives. In particular my 2 USB3 HDDs are not detected. I've been trying to find a solution to this problem for several weeks now.
        All this after several weeks of trying to fix it.

        The logs show this type of message when it is plugged in:
        usb 3-14: device descriptor read/64, error -32

        Quick and easy expansion for a fixed PC

        Well, I hadn't seen it but the whole thing is 3.5" (floppy drive type) and therefore not 5.25" (DVD drive type) so I had to add an adapter to be able to mount it where I wanted.

        I've been using it for a while now, but once I plugged it into the motherboard and the power supply, it works perfectly!
        I now have 2 USB3 ports on the front and a card reader without having to take out an adapter; great.

        perfect

        a good way to get a bit more USB port directly on the motherboard; comes with the 20 pin cable to plug it directly on the board and a long enough table as I have a large case. Much better than a hub that splits write and read speeds

        Good but...

        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to have it on my computer. I've been using it for a while now, but I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now.
        I'm not sure what it is...

        Great product!

        Hub combining several functions, very useful, USB 3, memory cards etc. to recommend for small configuration, a big thank you to the designer!

        Works well, good length cables.

        Works well, cables are the right length. Don't forget to power it up. A little mismatch with the front panel of my tower.

        USB 3 + USB-C

        The product corresponds well to the data sheet on your site except for the SATA power supply which is not mentioned but can be seen in the photos. The mechanical design of the power port means that a latching connector cannot be used, which is a shame (the half star).
        The quality of the product is quite good and it does the job.

        Thanks again!

        excellent

        Small built-in hun, USB-A USB-C and SD cards (this is the part I bought it for). Note that you have to plug in the SATA power cable for it to work (not a problem but I didn't understand this, thanks to LDLC's top-notch support for pointing it out).

        a complete and functional interface

        does not clutter up the USB ports on the motherboard, only the 20-pin port and the usual power supply.
