looking for a decent CF and SD card reader

[ditonics]

First post <yay>

I am looking for a true USB 3.0 internal CF and SD card reader.
When I read the specs on the readers they are all USB 2.0 for the actual card readers even if they have a USB 3.0 available and are connected via one.

I am sure they exist so any recommendations welcome, ideally black for a 5.25 bay

Lexar Pro usb2 or usb3 (depending what connection you have, although theyll work either way but restrict to the slower speed) always get the most recommendations.

I don't know of any decent internal card readers but this one claims it's USB3. As Neil says, the Lexar dual-slot is the most popular external reader and for good reason. I've had the previous version for a good number of years and it's totally reliable.

Another fan of the Lexar dual slot USB reader. I know it's not an internal one, but with my desktop computer living on the floor under my desk, it's much easier to have the reader connected to a USB 3 port and sitting at a convenient place on my desk.
