MODEL -27036 VENDOR - CABLES TO GO

FEATURES- 2 USB 2.0 Front-Bay Hub 2 Port
For easy, upfront connectivity of USB peripherals, we recommend
the Cables To Go Port Authority 2 USB 2.0 Front Panel. Add two USB
ports to the front of your computer case for hassle-free access.
This USB front panel easily connects to the USB connectors on your
motherboard. If you prefer to connect to the USB ports on the back
of your computer, easily swap the cables. The panel supports both
USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 peripheral devices.
This panel can be mounted into any 5.25 inch drive bay. In addition
to USB ports, the USB 2.0 Front Panel provides a 3.5 inch bay for a
hard drive to efficiently use that space, or you can change the
front bezel to connect a floppy, ZIP drive, or other 3.5 inch
removable media drive.

Super Convenient Device

"Have an older case without front USB access. Being I take files with me to other business to work on at home. I needed the USB connection on the front for quick easy access.

"I have mixed feelings. It is an excellent design, allowing for the use of a hard drive or other media device in addition to the 2 USB ports. The problem is the way it hooks up. There is a plug to connect it directly to the motherboard. By using this method, I would have to disconnect the 4 USB ports in the back of the computer. The other way to connect this device is to hook it directly to the USB port. Ho..." Read Full Review »

You can also add a laptop-size hard drive or standard floppy drive, if desired.

"I'm building a computer using an older case with no USB ports built into the front. This is the perfect component. Installation was a breeze, a few screws and plug into one of the USB headers on my mb, and now I don't have to reach around the back to insert a flash drive. A must have. "
