Review: All Ports Work As Expected - All USB ports work at 2.0 spec as advertised. They even work in 9-pin hubs, which is excellent. The cables are fairly short. They're long enough if the adapter is installed in a lower PCI slot and connects directly to motherboard headers. If it is mounted in a top slot and needs to go around a GPU, or two in my case, they will not reach any headers nor adapters. Thankfully, extension cables are cheap.
Review: If your computer motherboard has extra USB headers, this is great! - I was looking through various PCI-E x1 cards, looking for a way to add more USB processing power to my computer. Even though USB 3 and all its variations has now been around for several years, the bulk of what I have is USB 2.0. I have found some audio interfaces with USB 2.0 don't play nicely when mixed through a hub containing USB 2.0 and USB 3 devices. I was out of USB ports and one USB 3 hub is full I stumbled across this adapter, which sent me to the motherboard manual to see if there might be an unused USB connector on the motherboard. I actually discovered there are two. One was completely unused and the other was being used to bring one USB 2.0 port to the front panel. There was also a USB 3 port on the front panel, so I decided I could live without the second port on the front and connected the StarTech adapter to the two USB headers. Unlike some other reviews of this mentioned, the header pins were tight and solid. Upon power up, all 4 ports worked. If you have ever worked on a computer at all, installation is a no brainer. Some other reviews complained about the old school gray cable and I have to admit the adapter doesn't exactly blend in. My computer lives under my desk and is a tool, not a showpiece for me, so the non-matching colors in the box don't bother me. Your mileage may vary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built, solid design, works great!
*by J***R on March 18, 2019*

These work great with the Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard. Always had the problem of not enough USB ports, two of these solved the problem :-) I may remove an old AMD Athlon USB extension and purchase another one of these. Been using for quite a while now with many different accessories without a glitche. No problems with external drives, wired or wireless gamepads/joysticks, Bluetooth or WiFi dongles. Data transfer rates are high and HD 1080p movies play flawlessly. Plugs are built solid, well insulated, plenty of cable length for a full size ATX case. USB ports are tight, have a good grip and no chance of plugs slipping out. Great product at the perfect price. Highly reccomend this brand. Thank you StarTech!
