Front USB connectors
Curious, is there any options available to connect the front USB 2.0 (on a desktop), to a USB 3.0 PCIe card?
Thus, giving the front USB ports, 3.0, versus 2.0.
Thanks in advance for all your ideas...

USB 2.0 and 3.0 connectors are physically different. You can't convert a 2.0 front panel port to a 3.0 port except by replacing it.
You can add a PCIe USB 3.0 card to your desktop computer that includes a Front panel that connects to the card, giving you USB 3.0 ports front and back PCI-E Express Card TO 4 Ports USB 3.0 Host Expansion For Desktop W/Front Panel 709445110175 | eBay
