Which Card Reader is Better?

r_manic · May 17, 2009

Would anyone have an opinion on which of the card readers below is better?

CABLES UNLIMITED USB-1610 All-in-one USB 2.0 Card Reader - $20

Rosewill RCR-102 52-in-1 USB 2.0 3.5" Internal Card Reader w/ USB port -$13

People are saying the Rosewill reader has some quality issues, so I'm leaning towards the CABLES UNLIMITED. If anyone can recommend a 3.5" bay card reader better than the ones I've listed here, I'd also appreciate that.

I got a Lian-Li black aluminium one, which is nice.

Hmmmm... just to be sure, this is for a 3.5" case bay?

yep it certainly is, but it also comes witha cable so it can be used externall as well

I use this Koutech one, but I bought it when it was $15, not $25 as it is now.

I've used it for about 18 months now. Works perfectly.

Would want to be sure that this will fit into my 3.5" will, want to cut down on my desktop's external peripherals

Thanks Fulmar, I'll consider that as well *thinks*
