Feb 26, 2012 11:17 | #1 Has anyone come across a good USB 3.0 Card Reader yet? I bought an internal one from newegg and it didn't work at all, so I need to buy a new one. I would like to find a nice internal reader, but I'm not having much luck.

I decided to be patient, since a 16GB card takes what I guess is around five minutes to download.

Recently built a new i7-2600K rig and purchased the below USB 3.0 internal 5.25" bay multicard reader that accomodates every card on the market. It is a little pricey but well worth it and it also comes with a USB 3.0 port : Silverfox1 POTN Feedback / TC Extender Tests / Gear List

I've picked one up from Fry's a few weeks ago (SIIG) , and haven't really noticed any difference. Granted I only have a 30mb/s Sandisk card. Real world performance is the best way to test. I notice a massive improvement when importing photos on my USB 3 vs USB 2 reader.
