Drive Bay Card Reader that doesn't suck?

This Orico memory card reader doesn't work for CF cards any more. Orico ignored my support emails, so I need to replace it.

I thought it would be simple to locate an internal card reader that doesn't suck. But just about all the card readers I found on Amazon, Newegg, and B&H Photo have serious issues, according to the reviewers.

Can someone recommend a card reader that:

• Connects to the motherboard via internal USB 3
• CF and SD card readers
• micro SD nice to have
• Held up well in use
• 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" format OK
• black finish
• customer support that actually responded (if you had a support issue)

I don't need additional USB or eSATA front ports, a headphone jacks, SSD drive mounts, or any other doodads.

I want to buy something just once and use it for a long time.

Thanks.

I usually prefer card readers to be external usb. YMMV of course.

eLPuSHeR,

I would like a drive bay card reader to reduce all the clutter on my desktop and minimize the tangle of cables. And I have a Corsair 800D case with 3 drive bays. I have a DVD drive installed. Even with an internal card reader, i still have a free drive bay.

I usually have good luck with Newegg's "house brand" Rosewill. Here's a whole page of 5.25" multi-format card readers: Rosewill Card Readers - Newegg.com.

Ed,

Thanks for the link. I read the reviews for the Rosewill card readers, and I saw that some people had issues.

That said, I am an extremely loyal Newegg customer, and with good reason. For the few times I have had to do an RMA, it has always been a simple, no-BS process. I buy something from Am**** only if it is not sold on Newegg.
