Teapot Tales 10/3/2012 6:26:36 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Great product w/o necessary cables Pros: It is a great USB 3.0 4-port bracket that allows either a 3.5" drive bay or extension card bracket installation. All other similar products come with 2 USB 3.0 ports only. It seems to be well-made, it is almost unique (as of today) and it is extremely flexible. Cons: BUT, the kit does NOT include the USB 3.0 motherboard header cables. Yes, you would need two female/female USB 3.0 header cables in order to be able to plug this bracket into your motherboard. However, such cables are not included and they do not seem to be easily available. I find this to be a serious problem. Why sell a product that requires some specific cables without supplying such cables? Keep in mind that this darn thing that has not a single microchip or anything else valuable cost twenty-five bucks! 9 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you?
