If you're willing to put in the time, sure. They make header to female port adapters. It's just a matter of whether or not they will physically work with your case (long enough cable, right size of mounting for the port, etc) Here's an example: https://smile.amazon.com/Female-Screw-Pa...E456Z4RB66
This seems like a promising approach, or at least a solid foundation to build from. Appreciate the support!
It features eight 3.0 ports at the rear. The decision comes down to ease of use rather than physically accessing a flash drive. Upgrading the case isn't necessary. I'll stick with my Dell XPS 730X case either way.
Sure thing. As noted, it's possible to adapt it if you're ready. A USB hub placed in front of the PC works well too. Edit: a similar solution is available if you have at least one free drive bay here: https://www.amazon.com/Ports-Front-Mothe...B07WG7B94G
Based on your guidance, I discovered a five-port 3.0 USB hub that fits in a spare floppy bay. Now you see me... Now you don't... Thanks for the tip!
