Hi,
I am looking to buy and internal media card reader. (mainly for micro SD, but others like SD are nice)
I know I can buy an adapter thats a micro SD to USB, but wouldn't PCI-E or USB 3.0 connector on my MB be faster?
When transferring data from micro sd to my computer which would be faster, a PCI Express based or USB 3.0 based card reader?
For example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA34P2AV9377 - (PCI-E)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820506002 - (USB 3.0)
I have an available PCIE x16 slot and a USB 3.0 20 pin connector on my MB available.
I want to be able to transfer data ( like pictures and video) from my phones micro SD card to my computer as fast as I can.
I just transferred over 16gb of pictures and video from micro sd card to PC with another card reader and it took about an hour or so using cases front usb 3.0 port thats plugged into MB's 20 pin usb 3.0 connector
I used - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820270008&Tpk=N82E16820270008
-----------------------
Also, wouldn't it better faster to use the 3.0 ports on the back of the computer directly, which are soldered to the MB, instead of routing the cases front 3.0 ports to the back and into the soldered MB ports externally? I would assume yes due to lack of cable the data would have to go through. I'm mainly just looking for verification on this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
