Your motherboard has two USB 2.0 ports, and your NZXT Z73 supports multiple devices via one header. You can connect your Z73 to an external USB splitter or use a USB hub to power it. Alternatively, a micro-USB cable works well with external storage devices.

Yes, they do produce internal USB hubs. These are often used to expand the number of USB ports on a device.

Sure, I understand you're looking for a way to get both power and data transfer capabilities. Let me know if you'd like help with that!

It seems to move information efficiently. They mention the Kraken series, specifically X63, as a compatible item. https://nzxt.com/product/internal-usb-hub-gen-3 From the NZXT support page: https://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articl...-Questions

USB2 headers offer two connections, and many devices only require one. You can find adaptors that divide them into two separate ports. If you have an extra USB3 header, converters exist to transform it to USB2 if needed. It’s essentially the reverse of what you might have imagined.

I'll test using an external USB cable first. If it doesn't work, I'll save up for a month to purchase the NZXT hub since it's quite costly in my country. Thanks!

The link referred to was an internal USB2 splitter available on Amazon, along with other similar adapters from various brands and models found on platforms like AliExpress when Amazon isn't accessible.

I received one of these devices—it functions flawlessly. It handles data transfer smoothly, and it’s magnetic for quick mounting onto a case. The blue port connects to an MB USB 2.0 port, giving you four new options.
