I've been going through hell digging through all the crap online to find an internal card reader that uses USB-3.0 as the transfer interface. Does anyone here know of one? I've searched Newegg unsuccessfully, as well as googling till my head started hurting.

Is this for a desktop system?

USB 3.0 is so new on the market that there are very few systems or peripherals that support it yet. You have a new system with USB 3?

It's backward compatible with USB 2.0, so you can just toss a v2 card reader in there until USB 3 card reader are available.

It is for a desktop system.

I'm running a dual boot of OSX and Windows 7 (in a hackintosh set up). My mobo has support for USB3 (and two), but I'm missing support for firewire (400&800) as well as esata ports. The fastest thing available to me right now would be the USB 3.0. I know I could go with a 2.0 system, but I'd really love to experience the speed increase, as well as not have to worry about tearing apart my PC (again) just to upgrade in a few months.

I've seen external card readers (I think), and I'm probably going to go that route.. I just would have preferred the cleanliness of having it actually IN the desktop.

I found at least two in literally 5 secs. using Google. Must have been some kind of hell you were going through. LOL.

1) USB 3.0 Card Reader

2) USB 3.0 Carder Reader 2

There are more. Just Google USB 3.0 internal card reader and scroll through.

I'll try again. I kept finding USB 2 card readers that had an USB3 port in the front. I know I was tired earlier, but dang, I didn't realize I was blind as well.
