The recent case I purchased comes with a single 5.25" bay, but I don't want an optical drive. I was looking for a USB 3.1 w/ Type C Hub to fit in this bay, but I can't seem to find one. If anyone knows where I can find one, could you leave a link. If not, I'm open to any cool looking suggestions for filling this bay or possibly removing it completely until I find something I want. Also I've already been to this site that gives 5 suggestions to make your 5.25" bay useful. This article is over 4 years old so I just want to see if there's anything else I may be missing. Also, my case is the Enthoo Pro M TG.

I found some, maybe one of these would work for you:

Asus USB 3.1 UPD PANEL: https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessory/USB-31-UPD-PANEL/
Gigabyte GC-USB 3.1 BAY: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-USB-31-BAY-rev-10#ov
Amazon:
Buy this 3.5" USB3.1 : https://www.amazon.com/2-Ports-Front-Panel-Connector-Adapter/dp/B01A5DGIAM
and attach it to this 3.5" to 5.25" bracket: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-3-5-Inch-5-25-Inch-Mounting-Bracket/dp/B000HLZXH2/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000HLZXH2&pd_rd_r=7ESNF0V5TS1F4R6QZCBD&pd_rd_w=bEuAs&pd_rd_wg=TKa8a&psc=1&refRID=7ESNF0V5TS1F4R6QZCBD

I haven't personally used any of these models but I highly suggest you read through, in detail, all the reviews of verified buyers about their experiences with the product your looking at. It's sort of a risk but with enough information from reviews, I think you'll be safe to order one (even if it is not from a well-known brand).
