Internal Media Readers
Posted by Janak Parekh in "THOUGHT" @ 08:34 AM
Ever since I built my awesome 2GHz P4 box at home in a full-tower housing, I've been looking around for a good internal media reader, so that I don't need a device sitting on my desk. However, internal multiple-media readers are fairly rare. I've purchased an Addonics Internal USB Digidrive, but I've had mixed results with it; in particular, the USB 1.1 device I had didn't support SD cards larger than 256MB (perhaps the new USB 2.0 reader does). They also have an IDE reader that works a little better, but PPCT reader rfischer also found out about Soyo BayOne products, which look pretty cool. I like this unit that has two USB 2.0 ports as well:
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem the reader itself supports USB 2.0, just the ports. They also have one with firewire, but I have a SoundBlaster Audigy Platinum which takes care of that. So, for those of you who build your boxes or tinker with them, have you found internal reader nirvana? ;)
