    You mean SDXC right? Not SXHC...

    Do'h!
    Yes, you are perfectly correct.
    I wonder how to change thread title?
    Edit: sorted.

    i know that the card readers (i believe made by Ricoh) had serious issues with Class 10 SDHC cards. I assume that they won't even recognize SDXC cards.

    Bummer!
    You would've expected otherwise for the latest Alienware.

    Well I use Class 10 SDHC ones without a problem. I guess the only way is to try it out. If it doesn't work, get a USB 3.0 adapter.
