I complained about the lack of USB ports on computer. I was unable to recharge my cellphone while connecting 2 joysticks to play 2K.
So i am looking forward USB 3.0 PCI Express card which support Windows XP/7/ Vista/7/8. A video is talking about 4-Port Hub + USB 2.0 All in one card reader. But i'm confused. The master described that 3 cards can be displayed at max at the same time. What does it mean? Number 4 card won't effect or displayed?
So how would that be and any master here tell me the solution?
Thank you.

That card reader will not detect more then 3 cards at a single time. So if you have 4 cards inserted, only 3 will be available for use in your operating system. Also, if you want more USB3 ports, don't get that. Get something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Port-PCI-...rnal_Port_Expansion_Cards&hash=item2ed2a8d4f6

Yeah, thanks for your suggestion but i wonder the reason of your recommendation.
By the way, what can i do to make that device able to display the fourth card?
 
You do know that it means the card reader itself cant see more then 3 memory sticks at a time? Do you need USB ports or memory stick reader?
 
So are you wanting to use more than 3 memory cards? Are you trying to use a CF, SD, MicroSD, and another card at the exact same time? If you use more than one at a time the transfer rates are a lot worse anyways.

Or are you trying to use multiple USB devices? Just get a USB hub for your peripherals like keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.

Because you said you want more USB ports, and that card reader only has 2.

Its probably a device limitation and there's nothing you can do to get it to read a 4th card.
