USB hub card reader....

[Whitebread]

I have a generic card reader that works off of the USB hubs on the Mobo. Is there anyway to safely remove the flash cards that are insterted into the drive without di-activating the reader? I don't want ot have to restart everytime I need to read a flash memory card.

why would you deactivate the reader or restart at all? maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. I have an reader in a 3.5bay that I put a cf in and pull out all the time.

I was unaware that you could just pull the card out without "stopping" the device. I guess I can.

yep, its all good. ive put it in and pulled it out for years. its basically the same way you can pull memory cards out of console systems and put them in while powered. (as long as you arent accessing or saving at the time, of course)
