Certainly would be. I have three of the USB 2.0 version, one with microSD and
two without. They work very well. I also
paid MUCH less for them on the 'Bay. As I recall, the last two were $2-3 @,
including shipping.
Another, neater solution is a built-in reader. You need the right header plug
on the motherboard and a spare 3.5" bay
with front panel access. My desktop came with one, but it was stone slow, USB
1.1, I suppose. I bought a new one on
Amazon for maybe $20 (?), cheap anyway, and it works great. I can plug in any
of my various sorts of cards without
hanging something off the USB ports.
