Hi !
The NUCs are a hit. The efficiency and power are incredible. These are our new go-to office build computers (D34010WYK for now). I'm using a low profile USB 3.0 32GB card for primary SSD backup imaging (macrium reflect). The cost almost reaches out and touches another 120gb ssd. I was looking for a 5x2 usb motherboard header to a micro USB SD reader (high hopes, right?), but closest got to was this and a cheapie reader. But the size and the many cable links (and cheap readers) takes away from my peace of mind for reliability and cooling.
Please, please please put a micro SD reader -or TWO would be fantastic! Outside would be nice, but inside would be awesome -or both! The more, the better. Those things are so cost effective, and people love to use/play with them e.g. Using flash media in RAID 5 (or 1,0), mirroring flash media, auto grandfather/ father/ son backups, booting from them, etc. etc. !
I have also seen msata to SD card slots, but again, the price gets too far up there and takes up a slot.
Please dedicate a NUC design for office/business computers (D34010WYK ?). Remove the IR and add a micro SD slot (or many!!). Even USB 2.0 would be better than nothing. (USB 3 also a big plus And: I have a great, easy, cheap solution for better securing the NUC from accidental falling from bracket or theft. I cut up a credit card and slide between the NUC's two standoff screws and the bracket's top screws. You have to finagle it for a while to get it removed. This is way better than nothing. Perhaps a clear plastic insert could be made easily... (hint hint) Those Kensington locks can add up too, but only because the NUCs have close to zero security. Something... Anything... would be better than nothing and a plastic insert would totally suffice for many offices. Oh and power on from keyboard would be good. Sorry I unloaded my NUC excitement in one spot! I got carried away (NUC!, NUC!, NUC!) -3 stooges reference sends suggestions straight to the decision maker for immediate implementation
