All-in-one 4-slot internal reader

The AMC AICR-04 is an internal card reader that fits a standard 3.5-inch drive bay. It provides four slots supporting 52 storage card formats including Compact Flash, Memory Stick, MMC, SD and SmartMedia. It also reads bank cards, ATM cards and SIM cards with a chip. The device connects via a USB 2.0 header and is compatible with USB 1.1.

Installation and common issues

Mount the unit in a 3.5-inch bay and connect the internal USB 2.0 cable to a motherboard header. The reader supports high-speed SDHC cards from 8 to 32 GB. Older operating systems up to Windows Vista are listed as compatible; newer systems may require generic drivers. A frequent issue is the motherboard header being occupied or disabled in BIOS.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your case has a free 3.5-inch bay and that a spare USB 2.0 header is available on the motherboard. Confirm the cards you use are among the supported types such as Compact Flash, SD or SmartMedia. The product was first listed in 2015, so check whether your current operating system recognises USB 2.0 card readers without extra software.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the AICR-04 is working after installing it in a 3.5-inch bay and connecting the internal USB 2.0 header?

The device should appear in Device Manager as a USB mass-storage controller and each inserted card — up to 52 supported types including SDHC up to 32 GB — will mount as a separate drive letter without extra drivers on Windows versions up to Vista.

What comes with the AICR-04 and what must I source separately to use the four card slots and SIM interface?

The unit includes the internal reader with four slots covering Compact Flash, Memory Stick, MMC, SD, SmartMedia and SIM chip cards; you must supply a 3.5-inch drive bay, an available internal USB 2.0 header or a USB 1.1 header for backward compatibility, and mounting screws.

Which AICR-04 variant should I choose for reading bank ATM cards and SIM chips alongside standard memory cards?

There is only the single AICR-04 model listed; its all-in-one design already supports bank card ATM and SIM chip functions together with the 52 storage-card formats across the four built-in slots.
