Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I'd like an external USB card reader with SD and CF and as few of the other card slots as possible. It will be on a shared PC where there are easily confused users who may have to load photos off SD or CF and I don't want them jamming the cards into every other slot if possible. Thanks.
 
I have used a wide variety and frankly i got to Office Depot or Staples and find what is on sale. Only problems have been operator generated.
 
As far as I can tell, they are pretty generic...but you can easily see that some of them are pretty cheap, so best to avoid those ones.

One thing to consider, is if you have USB 3.0 on your computer, then it would be worth it to get a USB 3.0 compatible reader.
 
The cheapest you can find. I think mine was $8 at WalMart. Then put tape over the slots that aren't pertinent to your use, and more tape that reads something like "Label This Side".
 
Or, if you're worried about someone else getting confused, you could look for two separate readers and tell them to 'always use the blue one'....
