It fits the 5.25 spot perfectly. The screws supplied were just a shade short for my application, however I had longer screws to get the job done. After powering up and checking Device Manager, there was a flag for unknown USB Device. So I went and got the, Type E+20pin VL805&806 Driver, Installed the whole package and it cleared the flag. This Hub is very fast and very functional as well as looks perfect on my Dell Precision Tower 3620. I did have to purchase A PCIe to 20Pin + Type-E Internal Card, RIITOP PCI-e x1 to (19+1) Pin USB 3.0 Socket and USB C Type-e (A Key) Front Panel Header Expansion Adapter 5Gbps, as my motherboard was lacking in USB 3.0 and USB C Type-e A Key connections. This card did the trick for the Hub. I highly recommend this combination for SD/TS Card reader, and USB C connections, as well as 3.2 USB Connections. I did not test the speed of any of the connections, however they are plenty fast for my applications. I am very happy with the GRAUGEAR Hub! Review: Got 2 of them, both of them were DOA! - I should have heeded the other 1 star reviews. I received this and let it sit in my closet in my closet for more than 3 months because I hadn't gotten around to moving my PC mother board to a new case. Installed this device in my new case and it didn't work tested the sata power cable, device was getting power, but the usb ports do absolutely nothing, won't even charge a device, I tested the 3.0 and 3.1 ports on my new case, they work just fine using the same motherboard ports. I found a card in the box claiming a "lifetime" warranty, I got in contact with someone in customer service and they sent me another one and didn't ask for the old one back, it did arrive very quickly, I plugged in the new replacement... Shocker, it didn't work either. I got in contact with them again and told them I did more diagnostic steps on my own to absolutely verify that this device is DOA, I also asked if they could send me a "known good" one, they got back with me asked me for my motherboard make and model, I sent them this 2 days ago as of writing this and they haven't gotten back with me, could be because of the weekend though. I find it astonishing that in 2026 I can't get a USB hub that works... I'll update this if I ever get this issue resolved but I'm past the desertcart return window, these will probably end up in garbage as more E-waste. ## Features - 【Ultra-Fast 10Gbps Transfer】 Features dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports supporting data rates up to 10Gbps—2x faster than USB 3.0.

I've had these kinds of devices from several different manufacturer's over the years and was pretty much always disappointed with the performance. This is the first one I've gotten where all the devices on the panel work and are fast. It's not pretty - no fancy colors or flashing lights. But that's what I wanted. ## Frequently Bought Together - GRAUGEAR 5.25 Inch 10Gbps USB 3.2 PC Front Panel Card Reader with Audio Ports, SD/microSD Internal Card Reader, USB3.2 Type-E Key-A 20-Pin Header & USB3.0 Header & 15-Pin SATA Power Connector Required - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
