Will both these devices work inside my computer?

Device 2:

I wanted to use my two 3.5" bays and the USB 2 connectors on the MOBO for an
USB2 hub. However, it looks like maybe both these 2 devices above will have
to be plugged into the MOBO.

No matter what, will I have to plug this card reader up to the USB2
connections directly on my MOBO (see Device 1 above). With the card reader,
I was thinking I would just run the USB cable out the back and plug it into
one of the USB connectors on the back of the computer. I did not think I
would have to plug anything up to the MOBO. But on the product's website I
see several connectors that look like they go to the MOBO.


I guess what I am asking is whether I will be successfully able to put both
devices inside the computer? If they both have to be connected to my MOBO, I
am pretty sure that is possible for only one of them.


Thank you all.

Yup, both connects to the same header, but I don't know if the card reader
would connect to a standard USB port on the back of the case, then routed
back inside and to the reader...
