Looking for a card reader that can read multiple cards at once.

[Demon-Xanth]

I'm looking for an internal card reader that's not too expensive that I can use to move stuff between an MS Pro Duo and MicroSDHC card.

Wish list:
black
3.5" bay
SDHC, MicroSDHC/TF, MS Pro Duo (CF would be nice too)
Under $20 shipped, $25 tops
Can read more than one card at a time.
Doesn't make me wish that I could find the idiot who designed it and beat them with it.


Any recommendations?

Have you done any looking for this. All card readers are pretty much the same and will only cost about $10.

Let me google that for you.

But most readers only read one at a time since they are connected to a single USB port. If you have to have 2 cards read at once then get 2 readers. You'll still be inside your budget.

I thought most decent card readers set up each slot as a separate drive letter. Worst case you'd have to copy to your hdd and then write back to the other card...

Can't say about all of them, but I know the Sandisk Imagemate does it that way. It is an external reader thru a USB port.

I ended up getting this one:

Reads all the cards at once, no need to swap them. Easy to install, just a single connection to the USB port header on the MB, gets fast reads/writes. Comes with 3 color face plates. All the cards are face up.
