Bracket for additional USB ports

‎02-14-2012 04:05 PM

Hi, the P6330F desktop has internal ports where I can add additional USB ports for external [or internal] USB devices. I would like to add a couple of USB ports externally using them. is there a part number for the bracket? Don't want to use a hub unless I have to.

 

Thanks

If the lower 5.25" bay is still empty, have a look at this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3896256&CatId=2824

That's overkill. Especially since it has card readers already.

There is also four USB ports on the back panel.  So is this what you are looking for? http://www.pimfg.com/Product-Detail/USB-0402B

Unfortunately 4 ports in back aren't enough.

 

Yes. This looks better. some brackets have 10 pins [good for 2 ports] but HP's mobo [at least in this model has 4 pins - so each set of 4 is for one USB port.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

This 5 port USB 2.0 PCI-E card might fit your needs. It's $25.  The card need a 4 pin molex connector.  The reviews appear to be mixed.

 

This 3 port USB 3.0 PCI-E card might also fit your needs.  It's $19.  This card also needs a 4 pin molex adapter. The reviews are also mixed.

 

The last suggestion from above along with what I have suggested might fit your needs.

 

I did see a 7 USB port PCI-E card but it's a bit pricey at $65.
