SDHC card reader: Best for Hackintosh?

[cakemonster]

Hello,

Are there any proven USB card readers for the front of a hackintosh, or do folks just use USB etc...?

Just got a good SLR...

I use Rosewill's 47-in-1 card reader (I think thats what it's called). it's a 3.5" internal reader and plugs right into the USB header on the mobo.

Reading the detail pages of those two readers, the OS support for both lists Linux kernel 2.4, neither OSX of course. I am going out on a limb to say that since it plugs into a USB header, it should be treated more as an external device and have fewer compatibility issues. I could be way off on this, but I just put it to the test myself and bought the rosewill model that sports a USB 3.0 port on the front since I bought my case 3 years ago, and finally got around to building a Custom Mac. A few components will be arriving wrapped for Christmas, but I will be reporting my success here, as well as adding my information to the HCL at insanelymac.

Good luck!

Don't you get sleep problem with the card reader plugged to an internal usb header?
because i do.. it prevent the system from going to sleep or it wakes it up if it's sleeping..

any solution?

I am also having this sleep issue with both of my rosewill card readers. So far no one seems to offer a solution.
