ASRock first to reveal USB 3.0 front bracket

Posted on Wednesday, June 02 2010 @ 21:22 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
TweakTown saw a new USB 3.0 bracket from ASRock, the device is installed in your case's FDD bay and features two USB 3.0 ports. The bracket will be offered for free with the company's new P55 Extreme3 motherboard.
ASRock has developed a simple yet smart little device that allows users to easily add two USB 3.0 ports to the front of their case. The device is really just a small bracket that fits into a spare FDD-sized opening at the front of your case and then a cable from the bracket runs to one of the USB 3.0 pin connectors on supported ASRock motherboards.

Very good idea since with USB flash drives coming, having them in the front of the case just makes sense.
