Are you looking at an internal or external reader? If internal just make sure it has the mobo usb dongles, some card readers have standard usb dongles that require u to route a long ass cable through your case and out the back of your computer (I got jewed with one like that on my current rig and it blows ass).

so the one im lookin at in the link i posted, its says card read interface: usb 2.0 Pass through. so i take it that is what u mean by one that u have to run a long as cable?

 

[Dav0s]

yeah, that will be a usb cable running all the way through ur comp..

 

[SnoMan]

ok, nvm then on that one, have to find anohter one then

http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/aksial21fupa.html this is a new one i found that has the usb and ieee 1394 internal cables optional and are included in the box so im leaning towards this one unles some1 says otherwise about the brand.

 

[Dav0s]

that looks very very smart

Id go for that if i were you. Akasa Seem pretty good to me. Nothing really alike, but i have a HSF from them and its dam good quality.

I got one of those two, I cut my hole for my fillport a little bigger so the usb cable comes right out

ROFL - here's a man that does a LOT of research before making a decision

Good choice mate. You don't need all the crap that the Sunbeam has, u'll never use it, trust me. I had the same exact one in black and I only used it for the card reader. Hence with this build I used THIS. Great reader, internal USB headers, and it was only 13 bux

finally got this installed today, it is very nice, but when i put my microSD/Transflash card in and i try to copy music to it...it wont let me says it is write protected?? kinda havin a brain fart, is there something to get rid of that?? and also wont let me delete pictures cuz of it too??

 

[mVp24]

isn't there like some switch or something on your card? *refers to floppy knwoledge*

 

[WC Annihilus]

"Write protection switch - No" nope... (http://www.allmemorycards.com/micro-sd.htm)

 

[SnoMan]

ya there was a lil' switch on it that said Lock and i figured that was to lock the micro card into the transflash card so it didnt fall out but i was wrong it was the write protection thingy

 

[WC Annihilus]

Bah, that website fails! Haha, anyways, glad you figured it out
