Advantages

How to use

Install the Inter-Tech CI-01 into an available 3.5" drive bay and connect the internal cable to your motherboard. If your motherboard provides a USB 3.0 pin header, use it to enable full USB 3.0 speeds on the front port; if not, connect the supplied USB 2.0 plug to an internal USB 2.0 header to enable the front port at USB 2.0 speeds. Insert a compatible memory card into the appropriate slot and access files through your operating system's file manager.

Recommendations

For maximum transfer performance, use the USB 3.0 header on motherboards that support USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 and use high-speed cards (e.g., SDHC/CF with suitable speed class). Safely eject cards via the operating system before removal to avoid data loss.
