USB 3.0 3.5 Bay

[BillUp]

Hi, sorry if in the wrong topic, please move if so.

I have the HAF912 and it doesn't have front USB 3.0. I have the Asus P8 Z68 V-Pro which has a USB 3.0 header on it and I wanted to place a 3.5 inch USB 3.0 bay in the front 3.5 inch slot on the case.

Can you suggest anything that may work? I have found one - Lycom UB-116F USB 3.0 4 Port HUB in 3.5" Front Bay

but I don't know if it will connect to the USB 3.0 header, and I think my USB 3.0 header is only for 2 USB 3.0 slots?

Can anyone offer any advice? Thank you so much!!

I have ringed the front USB 3.0 header, and at the rear of the chassis you can see the 2 USB 3.0 ports ringed also.

In the manual it says...

"USB 3.0 Connector (20-1 pin USB3_34)

These connectors are for additional USB 3.0 ports, and complies with the USB 3.0 specification that supports up to 480 MBps connection speed. If the USB 3.0 front panel cable is available from you system chassis, with this USB 3.0 connector, you can have a front panel USB 3.0 solution."

It doesn't say how many USB 3.0 ports it will recognise, so would this suggest you can use more than 2 USB 3.0 ports? The reason I ask, is the bracket that came with the mobo only had 2 USB 3.0 ports on it (as you can see in above picture). Also other cases have more than 2 front USB 3.0 ports so logic would say the front USB 3.0 header would cover all the ports on the chassis?

Any idea's please?
