Another really good card reader comes from Anker -

That said, my G9 has a USB3.0 port on it, so cabling it to one of the
USB 3.0 ports on my laptop is every bit as fast as, if not faster than
using the external card reader, and negates the need to extract the
cards from the camera and replace them later. Doing so does not
transfer the images to the darktable database, but does make the files
available to be imported when darktable is opened and the folders are
accessed.

I agree. Also, a high quality SD card reader can be significantly
faster (10x or more) than a cheaper one.
A good one is the ProGrade DUAL-SLOT SD reader p/n PGRWSDHCXCANA but
there are others.

I wonder why on earth do some people absolutely want to import
right from the camera.
It is far slower and less safe than doing it by reading the card
from a card reader.
Safe : if the card falls on to the ground, it will not be the same
as if it were the camera.
Slower : I admit this is based upon my own observations with Nikon
1 v1, D700 and D4s conneted either via usb2 or usb3.
Plus, if I do not mistake, this just does import the pictures into
the database, so they will not be available anymore after
unplugging the camera.
I think, together with others on this list, that the best is to
copy the files from the card to the disk, and then import them.
There are many tools that allow organizing while copying, most of
them have been listed in previous posts.
