Review on πŸ’Ύ Ableconn PEX-SD137 Fast SD 3.0 (SDXC) PCI Express x1 Host Adapter Card by Michael Adams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent goods! (if you have rear access)

My wife is an avid photographer and her USB card reader has been hanging on our car for years. I wanted to add a 3.5" reader to the front of the drive bay, but I don't have an available internal USB port to plug it in, and when I've installed them on previous computers they show up as (multiple) drives, even with no card in them (and they tend to have too many slots for archaic card types). Our computer is on its side so this is PERFECT. The card comes in and out clean and only appears in This PC if it contains a card. And then the icon is a beautiful SD card. I wish they made a card that plugged into the PCIe card slot and then ran a cable to the front 3.5" bay, but that's probably asking too much, GREAT ARTICLE!

Pros
  • Poorly thought out
