I'm looking for something like this: https://rover.ebay.com/ro...k%2Fitm%2F371998889581

The catch is: I want more than one type C port. At least two.

I've also seen more basic front panel adapters but none that have 2 or more type C ports.

Anyone have any insight? Type C should definitely be more popular since all the new phones use it.

    According to some around here, the 5.25 bay is dead. People have no real use for it.

    Could get some 5.25 to 3.5 adapters for hard drives. Also useful for fan controllers. Hollywood pretty much killed optical media with Blu-Ray.
     
    Strictly speaking, I could get two of these since my board has two USB 3 headers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/...d1d:g:fUIAAOSwK6RZD9NI
     
    Just so people know, on my Nexus 5X, I went from charging at 900mA to 200mA just by switching the port type. No I don't get it either. That's on a B85 Asrock board.

    New Computer Cases still do not provide Two Ports.
    I have found 2 out of 34 that do but look really ugly.

    Also all of the USB Hubs and Expanders only have One Type C Port, I looked at over 56 of them.

    Type C Chargers only have One Type C Port as well.

    Wow you guys are amazing. Didn't expect such a response. Usually I get nothing.

    My main reason for wanting two ports is charging speed. Some of those options are...quite questionable.

    I think I'll go with using two boards together as in option 3.

    On a related note, I find it hilarious that those SD card adapters are connected through USB2 when the newer ones can go a lot faster.

    Option 3?
    Also I killed an old SD card using a USB 3.1 Port

    Bit late to the party here, but I was looking for the same and stumbled across this: 
     
     
    E-sds USB 3.0 2-Ports + USB 3.1 Type C 2-Ports 3.5 Inch Front Panel USB Hub[ 20 Pin Connector & 2ft Adapter Cable]
     
    Edit: Why does the link disappear when I post?  www.amazon.com/2-Ports-Front-Panel-Connector-Adapter/dp/B01A5DGIAM
