Dell Fan Management 3.0

This is a great case with cable management and fan attachments.

I use a number of external drives, so I needed more than the 4 USB 3.0 ports on my Dell Precision workstation. This card arrived quickly, installed easily and I'm very happy with the speed.

This works well with my new Dell and External drive. Always need a backup, makes the USB 3.0 work with my USB-C interface. Seams well build and has worked fine.

I bought this for my new Dell XPS 8700. I worked immediately, and I did not have to install software. When I first plugged items into the ports, there was some lack of connection, but all is well now (must have had some dust in there).NOTE: I tried a different 3.0 card on my older Dell XPS 8000 (which did not have 3.0 USB ports), and it did not work. I assume your computer must be able to handle USB 3.0 for these cards to work.

I like cases with lots of room for cable management. The case gives you so many options for cable routing and fan placement.

I've always been a PC user, partly biased by history of coding for Windows, but also largely biased based on the high performance of PCs and the lower cost. At this point, I'm primarily doing audio work. The M-series chips from Apple simply give me more than enough power. Even in a MacBook *Air*. The M2 Air is about twice as powerful as my mid-2020 i7 loaded Dell XPS 17 laptop (which cost me twice what the MacBook Air did). And fan on the PC ran **all of the time**, even when not doing much. On the Air, there *is* no fan, so not going to be a problem! :-) The price of the MacBook Air line is also quite good when compared to similar PC laptops (e.g. Dell XPS line). But MacBooks are better, and the Air offered the great performance and reasonable price for that performance, in spite of paying way too much to upgrade to 1TB of storage. Shipping (even to Hawaii!) was fast and it arrived with no issues. It's hard not to recommend the MacBook Air to anyone, even soon-to-be-former Windows users.

B&H provided prompt delivery of my new Dell dock. The dock works great - less fan noise than my previous dock - and adequate power for my laptop, monitor and a few other devices.

Although USB 3.0 has been out for a while. I still have 4 printers, a Logitech Unifying Receiver, 1 Laptop Cooling fan, 2 Self-Powered External Hard Drives the list goes on. All in USB 2.0 connection. Have a USB hub where the plugs are all on one side (versus other shapes-circular, square, etc.). It also makes for easy uniformity and labeling of peripherals.

The best ever cord management fitting.

Cable management made easy.
