seeking recommendation for SD card imaging hardware

#1

After recently upgrading my computer, I moved my desktop from windows to linux and no longer havea built in SD card slot. I’m thus seeking recommendations for an inexpensive USB 3 adapter known to work well with debian jessie AMD64 for imaging SD cards for Beagle(bone) and Rpi. What are you using that works well for you and can be had reasonably cheaply from a US supplier?

Thanks,

Eric

Eric:

I recommend the Startech FCREADMICRO3

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820130014

It runs reliably at USB3 speeds for microSD card read and write.
Also works fine with USB2 connections.
Works fine on both Ubuntu and Windows hosts.

I think most of them work. I use IOGEAR with Ubuntu 14.04 and it works great.
