Anyone have a favorite internal card reader? I have a 5.25" bay I'd like to put a reliable and fast card reader into. All I find online have very mixed reviews.

They are always made my cheap chinese companies it seems and they have always given me problems like disconnecting randomly etc. I have tried about a half dozen of them over the years in many different PCs. IMO its better to go the external route and in this day and age USB 3. [Gear List | Flickr

Just past the short warranty of course, but very short lifespan. Decided to try one more time and bought a Rosewill via Amazon in 2011 and it's still working just fine. Since then, I've bought an external USB 3 one to use for large transfers. I wish they'd make an internal USB 3 model, but I couldn't find one at the time I was purchasing.

I want to say it was Rosewill but I can't recall with certainty and it's not branded on the front. VanillaImaging.com
