## Long description

The INTER-TECH Argus CI-21 is an internal card reader designed to install into a standard 3.5" drive bay, providing convenient front-panel access to multiple memory card formats. Intended for desktop PCs, the unit connects to the system using the internal interface specified by the computer and offers a fixed, always-available slot-based reader for photo transfer, file access and backup. Consult manufacturer specifications or your system documentation for exact supported card formats and required internal connectors.
Advantages
The Argus CI-21 places memory card slots on a front-accessible panel, eliminating the need for external dongles or adapters. Its 3.5" bay form factor is compatible with typical desktop enclosures and provides a tidy, integrated solution for regular card reading tasks. Installation uses internal connections, which keeps external USB ports free and reduces cable clutter while ensuring the reader is powered directly from the PC chassis.
Suitable for
Transferring photos and videos from cameras and drones to a desktop PC
Accessing files from multiple memory cards without using external adapters
Regular backups and file organization workflows that benefit from front-panel access
Systems where preserving external USB ports and a clean workspace is desired

How to use
Install the Argus CI-21 into an available 3.5" drive bay following your PC case and motherboard instructions. Connect the reader to the appropriate internal header or internal USB connector inside the PC, secure the unit in the bay, and close the case. After booting the operating system, insert supported memory cards into the front slots; the system should detect the card as a removable storage device and allow file transfer, browsing and backup operations through the OS file manager or imaging software.
Usage recommendations
Before installation, power down the PC and disconnect mains power. Verify which internal connector your motherboard provides and consult the card reader manual for supported card formats. To ensure stable transfer speeds and reliable operation, use cards in good condition and follow safe removal procedures in your operating system before removing cards.
