Question 1

Like a PCIe card that SIMPLY plugs into a computer that NEVER came with USB 3.0 ports, where exactly do you connect this HUB?  Judging by the poor reviews & the ONLY cable pictured in the "Picture #4") it appears, it appears that one must attach this to an internal USB 3.0 port or, worse yet, purchase another product that allows for such.  IOW, I'M SIMPLY ASKING WHERE THE NON-PORT CABLE ATTACHES TO THE MOTHERBOARD??

PLEASE TELL ME THIS SIMMPLY attached to the motherboard listed below (NOTE THE ATTACHED PIC OF your product and the possible pin connection I’m referring to indicated by the GREEN ARROW AND HIGHLIGHTED BY THE GREEN BOX; FILE NAME:” STARTECH 35BAYUSB3S4 USB 3.0 Front Panel 4 Port Hub”)…and if so, is that cord included is well and, if NOT, how much extra is that cord and, as requested below, PLEASE INDICATED GRAPHICALLY WHERE IT ATTACHES (PLEASE) which allows functionally of this hub and that NO additional piece of equipment has to be prepared to make this simple port function.  MOROEVER, back port aforementioned USB3.0 HUBS that Your company manufacturers like you/Startech with NON-OEM 3.0 motherboards - which use used on other computers.   I KNOW THAT THEY DID NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL EQIUPMENT FOR SURE AND AT BASICALLY THE SAME COST.   OTHERWISE, I COULD PURCHASE simpy just order a PCIe USB 3.0 card for less.

Btw, this is for an Intel Desktop Board D955XBK specs (motherboard - ATX - LGA775 Socket - i955X) motherboard.  I would also GREATLY APPRECIATE IF THIS OPTION IS AVAILABLE, A GRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION OF WHERE THE CORD ATTACHES (WHICH, IS IT INCLUDED; IF NOT, WHATIS THE PART # AND PRICE PLEASE).  Thank you.

Important note: MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS GIVEN TO YOU FOR HTE SOLE PURPOSE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.  IF I CAN TELL YOU HAVE SOLD IT TO ANYBODY...ANYBODY FOR MARKETING PURPOSES, I WILL BLOCK YOUR SITE AND NEVER ORDER FORM YOU AGAIN (I KNOW how to determine this btw!)

Accepted Answer

This product appears to require a USB 3.0 motherboard connection (although it could also be connected through an external connection).  It doesn not appear to create USB 3.0 ports as it is a Hub.  It is powered by a SATA power connector.

It looks like this hardware requires a USB 3.0 port, so if your motherboard does not have one, then a USB 3.0 pcie card is necessary.  The product does say it is a Hub (which means it simply multiplies existing ports).

Question 2

does this come in beige or white?

Accepted Answer

There is nothing on their site that would indicate an option for beige, much less white. Components like these are almost always black. Not much call for the old beige color...kind of went out of style some time ago.

Question 3

CCCASASZCZADAD?

Accepted Answer

It brings a rear facing USB 3.0 port to the front of the computer and adds 3 additional ports.
