Airport Extreme Base + USB Card Reader

Hey all -


I'm looking for a USB hub to attach to my new airport extreme base station. While looking around I noticed that some hubs have a card reader built into them. If I plug an SD card into one of these will it appear under my disks in the airport utility / finder on my mbp?


And on a side note, does anyone have a usb hub that they would reccomend for the airport extreme? I'd like to go with a powered hub just to bypass any potential issues, but i'm looking for something that is reliable and a small form factor that'll work with the router.


Thanks!

No, since the AirPort Extreme will only support a hard drive and/or a printer at the USB port.


Belkin makes a good powered USB hub, but I'm sure there are many others. Check your local electronics superstore and they should have a number to choose from.
