Review: This reader is a must for creators! - First and foremost, you can't go wrong with StarTech's products. They do amazing work and produce quality peripherals. I use SD cards all the time for photography and need a dedicated port on my PC for them. In the process of building a new PC, I realize no new (good) cases really come with an SD slot and if they do they are sketchy at best, so I needed something like this to add to a case that had expansion bays. With a 5.25" adapter from the same company, I was able to get this installed and working easily. The black color is great as it matches most modern cases. Since StarTech is based in North America, the experience of actually using this device is well thought out for a western mindset. The text labels makes sense, the design is intuitive, and—again—the quality is impeccable. Love that this supports the new UHS pins for next-gen SD cards on the left slot. I don't have any or devices that support them, but I bet I will someday and be happy not to have to get a different reader/adapter or settle for slower transfers. Because of the UHS SD slot, this technically has 2 full-size SD card slots which is super nice for transferring data between them or just pulling files from both simultaneously. The Micro SD slot is wonderful too (no adapters needed) and I appreciate the support for legacy CF and MS cards (though... TBH, I don't plan on ever using them). I really didn't need an additional USB port on the front, but I can see it being handy for many users. Lots of cheap imported media card readers seem like they use old technology and the fact that this is only one of a handful to use full USB 3 for all slots is kinda mind boggling. So many readers have a USB 3 header cable for the USB ports, but then utilize only USB 2 for the card reader part causing bottlenecks in transfer speed. Not to mention some of those other card readers cost basically just as much as this one! If you need a memory card reader, don't bother with the cheap crap out there unless you know you don't need the quality or speed. This one will provide top-notch transfer rates, great compatibility, and solid construction that I trust will last for years to come.
Review: StarTech model 35FCREADBU3, the USB 3.0 version - This review is for the StarTech model 35FCREADBU3, the USB 3.0 version, not the 2.0 version. I have an older PC, an i7 2600k Sandy Bridge system, on an ASUS P8P67LE MB with no onboard USB 3.0 header. That mother board comes with PCI Express 2.0. I run an Oculus Rift so had installed a 5 port Inateck USB 3.0 card, the KT5001 ($29, w/ a 20 pin USB 3.0 header), because of the sparse number of 3.0 USB ports available on my box. I chose that Inateck card knowing I wanted to add a card reader and bring at least one USB 3.0 to the front of my PC. The StarTech model 35FCREADBU3, 3.5” wide, reader is simply plug and play behind my Inatech PCIe card. I only use microSDs for active file storage on my laptop, so this review won’t cover the other card types the unit handles. In the past, it was usually faster for me to use a USB 3.0 flash drive for transfers instead of a microSD to USB adapter. First the unit’s hardware. I gave it 3 stars while the value and ease of install got 5. The microSD slot resisted the first time I put the card into the slot but with a little patience, I was able to ease the card into the slot without damaging either the card or the slot. After a few inserts, it’s much easier to slide a card into the slot. The USB 3.0 port was much more of a problem. The port has grounding springs on each side and the left one was stiff and pushed right up against the male plug inside the port. Until I forced it back a bit, plugging in a flash drive was problematic. I’m happy to say that both the USB and microSD slots work fine now. I plugged a 3.0 flash drive into the port and transferred random files and folders from the drive to a folder on my desktop. Windows 10 reports random reads as high as 121 MB/s to a low around 35 MB/s. I’d guess the average transfer rate from the flash drive at 90 MB/s for real world reads. Write speed to the microSDXC I U3 was a steady 50 MB/s +/- 2, on sequential transfer of a 0.25 GB (262,146 KB) bitmap to the card. Read speeds, transferring to the PC’s SSD, for the same file was too fast to determine. Clearly, I’m impressed enough to recommend the StarTech (3.0) unit for older PCs and the Inateck card if you don’t have a 3.0 header on your mother board. Btw, this ASUS mother board comes with PCI Express 2.0 so any later version should also work. I’ve ordered the TOOLFREE MRA916 5.25 inch to 3.5 inch Drive Bay Mounting Bracket Black Aluminum, at ~$12.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to add it to a MPC 2000cl?**
A: Yes, i have installed these in 3 of my MPC 2000xl's. You have to drill holes in the bottom to mount. I think some people said they used double sided tape. I lined mine up and made marks with a nail, drilled both holes and mounted perfectly.

**Q: Does the power light on this device stay on even when the computer is turned off?**
A: Is your power LED on or off when the system isn't running.  It will depend on the way your motherboard handles power to the USB ports.  My motherboard allows you to set a jumper to use the +5V rail from the power supply that does go off and on with the system's operation.  The motherboard also allows you to use the +5VSB (the SB means standby) to power the USB ports.  That stays power supply stays on as long as the power supply switch (on the back of the PC) is on and the PC is plugged in.  Some motherboards may not give you this choice.  Check your motherboard manual.  If +5V is powering your USB ports the card reader's LED will be off when the system isn't operating.  If +5VSB is powering your USB ports then the LED will remain on.  Why have a +5VSB?  Well that's to allow your front panel power switch to be a "soft" switch that doesn't switch the full load of your system.  It also allows other components on your motherboard to to powered up when the system is not operating.  That makes it possible for you to wake the system based on the time of day, by taping a key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse.  Those last two require the keyboard and mouse to be getting power all the time.  Today, most keyboards and mice are USB devices so motherboard designers use the +5VSB to power the USB ports if they want you to have the "tap to start" feature.  Too bad they don't let you chose which USB ports operate that way.  I hope that explains it for those who seem to wonder why the other guy is experiencing the power light on or off when the system isn't running.  By the way, a little piece of black tape can hide the LED and others have disconnected the LED on some similar card readers by clipping the LED's power lead.  I haven't cracked this one open to see if that is possible because it doesn't bother me.

**Q: 3.5"? This means, it is not for disc drive front panel bays, right?**
A: If you mean a 5.25 inch bay where you install an optical drive, then yes, it will not fit. You need to get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HLZXH2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1which it mounts in and then mounts in the bay.

**Q: Will this work with Windows 10?**
A: Yes it has been tested on Windows 10 and works seamlessly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice to find but a bit pricey
*by G***. on April 10, 2026*

Finding a USB 3.0 internal card reader is pretty rare, for whatever reason. Many still use USB 2.0 but this one (and one by Vantec) seem to be the only ones that actually transmit the card reader over the USB 3.0 interface. Mine read an SD card just fine so no issues there. Download the driver offered by Windows so it hides all the card interfaces when you've got nothing in those slots. I will say this feels overly expensive for what it is, though. Something like this feels like it shouldn't be more than $25, even for a strictly USB 3.0 card reader.
