5.25" internal card reader for desktop PCs

The EN-Labs U2CR525U3 installs in a standard 5.25 inch bay to add multi-format card reading and writing to a desktop computer or server. It connects to the motherboard through a USB 2.0 header and includes a front-facing USB 3.0 port for additional peripherals. The mesh front panel design integrates with cases that use a similar aesthetic.

Supports cards up to 64 GB across CF, SD, MS, XD.

The reader handles CompactFlash I and II, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC I, MMC II, xD and microSD (TF) formats. Maximum supported capacity is 64 GB per card. Data transfers over the card reader interface run at USB 2.0 480 Mbps speeds, while the front USB 3.0 port operates at up to 5 Gbps for connected USB devices.

Requires both USB 2.0

Full functionality needs a 9 or 10 pin USB 2.0 header for the card reader and a 20 pin USB 3.0 header for the front expansion port. Systems lacking either header cannot use the corresponding feature. The unit is USB powered and includes mounting screws for installation.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 2.0 480Mbps card reader still work if my motherboard only has a USB 2.0 9/10-pin header?

Yes, the card reader connects to a USB 2.0 motherboard header and runs at 480Mbps; the extra USB 3.0 port simply stays unused without a 20-pin header.

How can I confirm the reader is functioning after I install it in the 5.25" bay?

Insert a supported card — CF, XD, MS, M2, SD or TF — up to 64GB; it should appear in File Explorer and allow read and write operations.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package includes the 5.25" USB 2.0 card reader and a bag of mounting screws; you must provide a USB 2.0 9/10-pin motherboard header for the reader and a USB 3.0 20-pin header for the front USB 3.0 port.
