[SOLVED] Need recommendation for internal flash card reader

[ovrzlus]

Hi, just looking for a recommendation on a good internal card reader, I don't have a lot of desk space for an external one. Specifically, I'd like to have a micro SD slot. Before buying, wanted to see if anyone had a recommendation for a reliable one that will be compatible with my mobo and setup.

I have 2 unused 5.25" expansion bays.

Here is my rig:

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (8 Core 16 Thread @ 4.3GHz)
ASRock Fatal1ty-B450-Gaming-K4
16GB DDR4-2666 (2 x 8GB Kit)
1TB Solid State Drive (SSD) - SATA3
2TB Hard Drive 7200RPM - SATA3
600W - Fractal Focus Mid-Tower
nVidia GeForce GTX1660 - 6GB
Windows 10 Pro

Many thanks!

What about just using a regular USB3 front port -- https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MobileMate-microSD-Card-Reader/dp/B07G5JV2B5/

That's actually pretty cool, I hadn't seen those. Only issue there is I was hoping to "future-proof" it somewhat in case I later need a reader for other types of media. For my immediate needs, though, this would do it cheaply and effectively...thanks!
