Internal Card Reader

I've got my new photo editing build up and running and would like to add an internal card reader to free up having to always upload through the 5DMKII.

I was thinking of getting a 5.5inch front panel one with various card slots. Would it be better to get one that runs on USB 3.0 as I have a few spare headers on my mobo, or should I look at a SATA option, which again I have a few spare (but am likely to use in the future with a new HDD + SSD).

Any help much appreciated! :thumbs:

Not what you want to hear but I built my new editing pc last week and decided against an internal reader, and went with the dual ad/cf USB 3.0 offering from lexar. It seems to be the card reader of choice at the moment and is very dry fast. I have always had pins break on my internal card readers, but no problems with the lexar...

I find a bit of blu tack on the desk stops it going anywhere :)

Thanks Tom. I'll have a look at it. Ideally i'd like to keep the clutter down, but can settle for something like this if it is a superior product.
