Card Reader

[Dark Assassin]

I'm looking for a new card reader, but regrettably, I have no prior knowledge as to respectable brands or choices.

Out of experience, can anyone recommend one for me to look into?

for CF you could buy the new Lexar CF reader here or be sane and buy something reasonably priced

Well, I mainly need an SD reader, but anything beyond that is a luxury.

I agree with hollow, these rule. I got the Firewire version, and it just stupid fast.....But for SD, I would say any USB 2.0 Card reader would be fine.

For my SD cards, I use http://www.dealtime.com/xPR-Lifeview_Lexar_JumpDrive_Trio_JDT_231~RD-141916212868 just because it doubles as a thumbdrive... and it is smaller than most card readers.

I have used this 8 in 1 CR in several builds with no issues.

I have 2 of those. They are useful for a internal solution..

What kind of case do you have? There are some companies that make card readers that match their cases (Lian Li for example and Silverstone for another). If you want to keep a nice aesthetic , you may want one of those.

Otherwise, Newegg has tons of choices that are mostly fine I'll bet. I'll bet this Crucial is pretty good. Koutech also has a pretty good reputation, and this Seasonic looks nice also. I have a Koutech and it's good.

Mitsumi makes a floppy drive with a card reader built in. It reads everything except XD cards.

I use those for about 95% of my builds.
