SD Card hub?

[Little Dutch]

I use SD cards quite frequently between the 3d printer and game cameras. My current PC doesn't have a usb card slot, and I am using thumb drive usb adapters. I would like to get an SD card hub that allows me to insert and remove SD cards without removing the USB drive itself. I want to insert the card, read or load data, eject the card as appropriate, and load a different card without having to re-insert the usb adapter.

I suspect my google searches are not using the correct terms. Any suggestions?

Search for an SD card reader or adapter. If you really want a hub, look for a dock or something that has an SD card reader built into it.

this for example - https://www.amazon.com/WALNEW-Thunderbolt-Multiport-Thinkpad-Chromebook/dp/B0CJ28MP96/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=AJQBUKBW0BB8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bYtvwRA0DdHamqFsqRvXJoz9rDPgtr3cf sfWsKP91y7htbr3ycN3F2eBztPBG8YV9nX1HG7klpvXnPGzNDw N8lji83uoM3Tfhi9BvfgYrLqTqxBQkZwphxI3VTsJykMOTaeYg CjfkEp8rd5ytUcSZbhQTcDT5Np2zyECvHVwh4WVA8hAKBLjBDe QCRIxtdVawPandJbi3ZsyWWclgfDkLQ.OUpHc_gZl5Iw7tJUUY WyxBySyrqHU2Zuy34Mqvz7GPk&dib_tag=se&keywords=sd+card+dock&qid=1729477148&sprefix=sd+card+dock%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

If your PC is a desktop and you have a spare slot on the front then there are things like this you can get

The trick with the PC mounted options you need to verify that you have a spare interface (often USB) to hook it up.
I opted on my last computer build to dump that device for an extended USB cable + a simple USB based card reader/writer.

I have a few Anker USB 3.0 SD Card Reader, 2-in-1 SD Card Readers and they seem to work well.

With the extended USB cable it made it easy to access the device to swap out memory cards. I could always keep the
card reader installed....

another option is https://www.amazon.com/SABRENT-Multi-Card-CFexpress-microSD-CR-C4PM/dp/B0CH1SRWWW?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

For a desktop 3.5" bay install, I have this one and it's great with the high speed USB-C and SD card readers.

But, yes it does require plugging into the mainboard headers. I just have an older low end MSI MB.

My mid-tower PC hangs off the end of my DeskHaus just below the top so it's handy to use the slots.
