GRAUGEAR3.5 Inch Front Panel USB C Hub, SD/microSD Internal Card Reader, 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB3.2 Type-E Key-A 20-Pin Header & USB3.0 Header & 15-Pin SATA Power Connector Required [G-MP01CR]

I wanted a hub with a SD port and Gen 3.2 ports. You have to plug in the SD drive upside down but it works very well. Highly recommend.

This was exactly what I needed. It provides 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB 3 ports, and SD and MicroSD reader, all running a USB 3 speeds.I'm happy to verify that the SD reader is in fact USB 3.0, and with a class-10 card I get 100MB/s read speed. The chip used is a Norelsys NS1081, which claims to support up to 2TB cards and max throughput of 200MB/s. (perhaps only when reading both cards at once?)The upper USB-C is a direct passthrough to the Type-E connector on your motherboard, so you get whatever speed your board is capable of. The other is part of the USB 3 hub, and plugs into the USB 3.0 20-pin motherboard header, so it's sharing that 5Mbit with other things you have plugged in.Construction quality is pretty good, and it looks nice.Do note that the builtin USB 3 hub requires a SATA power connector, and that it needs to be long enough to reach up into the front of the drive bay.

The MicroSD card and SDXC inputs randomly disconnect. I tested multiple cards from multiple manufacturers. The cards always randomly disconnected.Also, after I initially installed the item, the computer would not boot up. I pressed the "Power" button, but the screen remained frozen in black for over two minutes. I turned the computer off, and then turned it back on several times. Eventually, the computer did boot up. However, the very first time I tried inputting a microSD card, the card randomly disconnected.This confirms the negative things other people said in their 1-Star Ratings are true. Other people talked about how the poorly soldered connections on the device were the reason for the weak connections that randomly disconnect.Similarly, other people talked about how all of their installed hard drives were ruined from fluctuations in electric power as a result of this defective product from Grauger.Worst of all, other people talked about how their entire computers caught on fire. This is something I experienced THREE TIMES in the past with an HP printer/scanner/copier, so I know it can happen. It isn't worth having a fire hazard around. So, I am returning this product from Grauger to Amazon.I purchased this product in May of 2025 and the product requires the SDXC card to be "upside down." There is a sticker on the device saying so.Also, the product is designed poorly in fundamental ways. For example, if you put the SDXC card in first, it is virtually impossible to enter a microSD card into the device because the size of your thumb is too large to place the tiny card into such a small input such a short distance away from the SDXC input. Your thumb will keep hitting the SDXC card.Similarly, you look and see two USB 3.0 inputs and think that is good. But, you cannot connect two USB Flash Drives simultaneously, because the cards will collide with each other. Only very tiny USB devices would be able to be used simultansously.I'm very disappointed with this product from Grauger. I read the reviews before purchasing, and I saw the negative things in all the Ratings with "1-Star." But, I thought, "There are good reviews, too, so I will give it a chance."But, after personally seeing for myself the product failed with the random disconnects, there is no reason to risk a potential fire hazard. Grauger needs to completely redesign this product and make it better.

This product met my expectations, I am pretty much satisfied. SD cards must be inserted upside down, microSD is correct though. My external Samsung T5 and Sandisk extreme SSDs work as fast as the rear usb port on my Asus motherboard. Sandisk SD cards work at speed of other card readers except Sandisk readers are almost twice as fast. Overall great product if you have a 3.5" spot available. Fits great in Cooler Master N400 case.

Nice addition to my PC. Works fine with AMD system.

I use an Icy Dock rack that allows hot-swap of two SSD's. Its really nice for moving data around or storing items. The rack that I use fits a 5-1/4 inch bay but has room for a 3-1/2 inch insert. This item provides for two more USB ports plus an additional type C USB port. My computer case only had two USB ports on the front so the additional ports was really nice. The only issue I had was that I needed to connect power to the insert. At first it wasn't obvious and on my first installation it didn't work. Closer inspection revealed a place to plug in power, and it worked! I really like it.

This product added much needed front USB 3.0 connectivity to the front panel that I was lacking, also included two(2) USB-C ports, and SD-Card reader for SD-Card and Micro-SD. However, card portion of the device DOA. I returned the device for an exchange. The card reader portion of the device work three or four times then never worked again. While it was working Windows 10 & 11 could see the card reader in the device manager. Then for some reason the card reader device disappeared from device manager never to be found or seen again. I tried hooking the device to two other motherboards. Still no card read was found. I do not use the card reader very oten, so I just use a separate multimedia card reader adapter that I plug into this device instead.

works great for 1 year now.
