thats an internal flash card reader.
it says connection is USB 2.0
my question is: if its internal, how does it connect to USB port? does it mean my side door has to be always open for the cable to go back of the computer and be plugged to USB in the back?

and 2nd question:

what type of card is it missing? i have seen 7-in-1 in readers...and this one says 6-in-1..so which format is missing?


3rd question: is this the highest speed i cant get (it says USB 2.0 so i assume its highest consumer speed)


thank you in advance

...the header where you would normally plug in your front-panel (or extra back-panel) USB ports. Most motherboards have them these days.

I've seen 11 in 1 readers before, so it's probably missing a bunch, though the only one that stands out to me is xd cards. You really don't run into them too much though so I wouldn't worry about it. 3rd point is somewhat correct. I guess you could find something that's firewire, but usb2 is really the standard.

Check Newegg For some other readers. I think you can find something cheaper there.
