Hello,
Just wondering if this USB bay (http://www.amazon.ca/Vantec-2-Port-Front-Panel-UGT-IH203/dp/B00AI3KOPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412027118&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+3+front+panel) will work fine with my Dell Optiplex 960. I take it that I will have to remove one of my DVD ROM drives and replace it with this? I have an external hard drive that i need to be able to store movies and things and need to have fast download speeds to. Will this work?
Thanks!

It looks like this has a 20 pin connector on it. The mobo needs a USB 3 header.

If that Dell has only got USB 2 ports, you need an adapter. But if that Dell only has USB 2 ports, it wont run at USB 3 speed
