AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the adapter. They mention that it works great if you want to remove the USB plugs from a Raspberry Pi, and it seems to work on most motherboards. The adapter works great for using a USB stick as the boot disk for a fileserver, and connects to an internal USB2.0 header on a motherboard. It's a perfect solution all the way around, and incredibly useful for using cheap USB sticks as boot disks for custom server builds. The connector looks good and professional, and the build quality is nice.

I did, however, have a spare USB header on the motherboard. You can fit two of these cables on each header, but (as in my case) connecting one by itself works just fine. I mounted the fan onto the case, connected this to the motherboard, then fan's USB cable to this, and everything works swimmingly.
Keep in mind it's not just fans you can connect - lights, flash drives and anything else that draws USB power is fair game.
Simple to install, well-built, and functional. Five stars in my book.
Definitely a nice-to-have rather than a must-have, but it works well and I like it. (It helps that in my case, it reaches just far enough to let me slide the USB key into the racks on the case bottom which held the HDD slides; much better than hanging in air.)
I did have to reseat it once after some major work inside the case; it wasn't visibly off the pins, but the system couldn't read the drive; a simple re-seat did it, but in a high vibration environment this would be a worry. (Or if you go to LAN parties a lot or something; you might want to secure it mechanically, or with a locking solution on the contact pins.)
I'm disappointed to see the price jump up so much but other than that this thing has been the answer to my computer tinkering in the dark problem & it was so simple w/ the adapter.
That being said take care on your installation and align the labeled port correctly to your motherboard headers as not to damage and USB devices you plug in. I attached a MoBo USB header pinout image to the product info as a reference to make sure you do it right.
