Pros: 1: Easy Install 2: Compact design 3: Great solution to large towers with no front audio or USB! The two different connectors for the front audio is a good idea, plugged right into my M3A series board.

Cons: 1: USB internal cables somewhat short.

Overall Review: The front USB ports seem oddly placed, One would think the 3 USB's would be in a line and the 1392 separate. They all work fine, and even power the external HD kit I use for portable applications.

Pros: Variety of ports and connections. Internal wiring, no "out the back of the case" workaround to get things plugged in.

Cons: None really but a flip down cover would be nice for when its not in use.

Overall Review: Just bought my 2nd unit. Very satisfied with first purchase.

Pros: SATA, Firewire

Cons: Flimsy, don't fit the bays correctly, CF slot stopped accepting cards after about 2-3 months, after taking it apart to see why, the whole thing is plastic and the plastic bent. Junk.

Pros: I will keep it.... but not happy with it. Card reader works with some effort.

Cons: Drive slots are machined/cut to the wrong size... you have to force your card in as you hear scraping against your card and when you pull your card out, the front bezel wants to come off with it... so from now on i won't buy this brand anymore or Aluminum front card readers for that matter....all my plastic front card readers worked great on past builds... and yes I am putting the cards in the proper slots, because they read ok, but scraped bad on the way in and on the way out. GRRRR!!!!!

Overall Review: Audio ports may be starting to give me issues, there is a whining in headphone on these audio ports but the rear ports on my pc have NO whine in my headphone... hmmm?

Pros: It does everything it promises so far. 3 Powered USB Ports, all the card readers, eSATA, & Firewire, and most importantly audio plugs where I can easily reach them. The connection cords were plenty long enough to reach my motherboard.

Cons: Well this thing is pretty flimsy I have to admit. The "aluminum" is just the front panel, all of the card readers have had drive letters perminently assigned to them, and unfortunately some of the pins on the CF reader were bent when I receved it, although I was able to straighten them pretty easily.

Overall Review: I have not tried all of the features on this thing, since the only cards I own are SD, and CF, and I dont own any devices to check the firewire port. Seriously though, I looked through all the panels that Newegg offered, and this is the only one that offered me all of these connection options. They are all priced pretty much the same, and this one offered free shipping (which probably saved ne at least 7 bucks).

Pros: all the inputs you could want.

Cons: feels very cheap. Its all plastic and doesn't really mount in a pc well. Also the compact flash port is tricky because it doesn't guide the card in very well so occasional miss the pins.

Pros: It works...

Cons: ...for a month, after that you realize $25 dollars isn't worth a cheap piece of plastic which has to be forced into a bay, re-shaped for screw alignment, uses every blasted additional USB ports on your motherboard, and ruins your SD cards. I highly suggest you go looking for another reader even if this seems to be the only 5.25in available. It only took one month for transfer speeds on each port on the thing to deteriorate to the .5-2mbps range. Seriously go look for another one.

Pros: It's cheap.

Cons: It doesn't work. One of the three USB ports doesn't work and the card reader doesn't work on the unit I got. It's all cheap plastic. The connectors don't line up with the front panel properly. The instructions were written by someone with a first-grade-level understanding of the English language and no access to a spell checker.

Overall Review: The thing is a total piece of junk and I get to eat one third of the cost just to return a defective unit. Thanks Newegg.
