Having a motherboard Asus P8P67 (bestseller there there's still little so many have), connecting the USB2 connection and usb3 are carefree (by the way no clogged holes ...), everything is recognized immediately , no drivers under Windows 7.
I have a tower Lancool K63 (), which is great and all cables are relatively long, a good point.
I did some speed tests through the player directly to the tower. No loss of speed on any port.
Oddly, a key on a connected USB2 Port usb3 go a little faster around 2-3 mb / s over), probably the internal usb3 chipset, so even better ;-))
It there's a good blue LED that indicates the presence of a card (do not work with USB).
Actually the connection is made upside if you have the ride down, but as mine is at my height, it suits me better. I see the LEDs operate usb key.

It does not breathes solidity, do not hang your HD USB2 a 2.5 inch or 3 risk free solders.
And even in all, it will go molo.
The scriptures are tiny but well be a little crazy.
Lacking Bay 3.5 out my tower, I bought at the same time this article BRACKETFDBK StarTech.com Adapter Bracket HDD 3.5 "in Frontal Location 5.25" and everything is harmonized.
In short, for now, it's brand new, it perfectly fits what I wanted.
