Because memory card readers using usb. I'm surprised that someone mark it that way. Is it motherboard from some prebuilt PC like Dell, Lenovo etc? If you want to be 100% sure, download manual and check connector detailed description.

 

Maybe it's usb with less "power" (sd cards don't need high amperage) so you should not connect anything like external drive to it?

So you have 2 options:

1. It's just USB, but with different info - for specific config, for Samsung PC. Probably original PC has external USB and card reader, so it's marked as this.

2. It's USB with less power.

3. Very unlikely, but possible - it's different port designed especially for Samsung PC - it may have different connectors order and you may damage your PC.

 

If you need more internal USB, you'll need something like that:
