That plug you've got circled there is a SATA port.

Just make sure your card reader is High-Capacity compatible (SDHC, MicroSDHC, etc) or else you'll be limited to memory cards under 4gb.

edit - the plug near the top of the pic is a SATA port, the other looks like a header for front-panel Audio, maybe firewire.

According to that diagram, it IS indeed a SATA port on top - but it's the MultiCard Reader plug on the bottom, NOT front panel audio. My mistake.
