Need Front panel card reader

[oldboomer]

I'm looking for an internal front panel card reader/hub with several USB 3.0 ports and a card reader using USB 3.0. So far, I have found only card readers that use USB 2.0. Need SD reader with 3.0 capability (and speed). Rosewill has this one (Newegg item#: N82E16820223120) but the card reader is USB 2.0.

Suggestions?

SilverStone FP-59 is one.
google 'usb3 card reader drive bay'. going to have to trawl though and see which ones use usb3 for the reader.

Hi

Does your case have any 3.5" bays ?
If not you may need a 5.25" to 3.5" converter tray

Also check how many internal usb3 sockets are required?

I purchased one recently in the Maplin closing down sale which required a standard pair usb 3 port and another cable routed out the back of the pc to a standard usb socket

The final thing to check is does each card reader socket get a seperate drive letter or can only one be used at a time with the same drive letter

The Silverstone might work, the AFT PRO is disc. I have 3.5 bays.

The big deal is the SD read speed. I am reading thousands of digital images and speed it important.
