Works great if your MB and case have new type of USB C MB connector and 3" front knockout.
Just what I needed. Building a new computer for wife to hopefully be good for years. The MB had a new type USB C port The case had no usb C port but does have 3" front panel knockout. This gives me two more type A usb3 and added two USB C 3 ports on front. As bonus, system will boot from these extra ports, unlike PCI added ports on my computer. It was a pain getting the unit physically attached but that had more to do with the case not having easy access to retaining screws. Still not as bad as the finger cutting setups of the early 2000's.

Perfect for our needs
No computer-case maker is giving us builders enough USB 10gb options, so these until are perfect to help correct this situation... IF the case offers the increasingly rare 3.5" front facia panel.

Good German quality
Sturdy metal construction instead of the cheaper plastic ones. This one does not need a usb-3 header but a usb- c on the mobo. An advantage because most mobo have only one usb-3 header which is mostly for the front case connectors,

Easy to install
Works as advertised and was simple to install. I now have USB-C ports on the front of my desktop.

Well made front panel add-on USB 3.2!
I was upgrading my motherboard but re-using the old case. This was an easy way to add USB 3/2 ports to the front panel. The data cable plugged right into my motherboard. Installation was super easy--just placed it in an unused 3.5" bay, plugged in power and data cable, and good to go! No setup required.

The ports do keep failing after a year.
Unfortunately, one of the type C ports stopped working after a year. It's sad to see such a bad and low-quality product been made every day from companies nowadays. Is like they want to keep losing customers. They don't have any pride on their products QC. Terrible to see this. And I read the one stars saying the very thing that happened to me but I gave them a chance and it happened to me too.

Good when it's 'on'.
Good when it's 'on'. Easy install. drilled holes in the plastic for the mounting screws require a bit of caution but were lined up with my case well enough. Otherwise easy install, no drivers, comes right up. Good 3.0 speeds. only complaint, is it occasionally falls off the bus (pun intended) which is a little weird since it's actually POWERED. I have two different powered external usb hubs and neither one ever just drops like this. As simple restart gets it back. AND this happens rarely enough I can still give it 3 stars/

Lives Up to Expectations
Build is metal rather than plastic and fits exactly into a floppy bay. I had purchased this unit before the motherboard I intended to install it on arrived and sent an email to Graugear support asking if it would plug into the mb (in my email to them I had sent a link for the mb that I would be using their USB panel). Within half a day a tech responded assuring me that it would work. Sure enough, it plugged in and worked perfectly.
