CONVERT AN INTERNAL USB MOTHERBOARD HEADER PORT TO A REGUALAR USB A PORT FOR CON
| Works great | 2010-05-29 | 5 / 5 |

| I had 4 or so usb ports on the board I need to have access to for my carpc since everything you plug in uses usb. Got them all and they all worked great. Very little products like this (where there is only one plug and not something that has a big mettle mount for a standard pc case), which was perfect for my carpc cause it is so small. |

| The cabled worked great for my application, although the insulation they use is pretty thick and the cable pretty short. Although most won't need to do this, I stripped the insulating plastic, and the big bulky black plastic around the USB head, allowing me to make it flexible and streamline. |
| Perfect for Low Power Server | 2010-01-17 | 5 / 5 |

Perfect if you want to use a USB key as a primary hard drive in a low power PC application. Solid state drives are expensive compared to USB drives, but if you want low power consumption you can use this cheap adapter + a USB key to run a PC using Ubuntu or other Linux distro. I paired this adapter with a OCZ 8GB Rally 2 USB 2.0 Dual Channel Flash Memory, which is one of the faster USB devices available in terms of both read and write speed.
It has been awesome in my new media server. The entire PC (which uses an Atom processor) consumes ~35W when running under steady load. |
| exactly what I needed | 2009-12-21 | 5 / 5 |

I simply needed to velcro a USB device inside my mini-itx case. This did the trick quite nicely.
Please note that the part of the cable that attaches to the motherboard does not take up the entire USB header port. It just takes up one half of it, so you could put two of these on one header port. It wasn't obvious by the photo, although I am aware that one USB header allows for two USB connections. I thought it may be worth mentioning anyway. |
| Flexible, works like a charm | 2009-11-11 | 5 / 5 |

| I needed an internal USB header adapter for my Home Theater PC, so that I could hide the flash drive I'm using as the boot drive internally. The flexible cable between the female header port and the female USB port made positioning my drive a cinch, and now I don't have to see a blinking red light from the USB drive sticking out the back of the case. Inexpensive, works as expected, five stars. |
