Good 5.25" drive bay flash reader?

[pm]

I looked through the reviews at Newegg and they were pretty depressing. 🙂 Not a lot of good things to say about front-panel flash readers. Does anyone have any experiences with one they'd recommend. Ideally I'm just looking for flash, but if it has audio and can control fans, then that's a plus.

Thanks

I have used several of these (interchangeable faceplate colors) with one of these (also available in black if needed) with no complaints.

I personally just use a usb 14-in-1 reader. This way I can always put it in my pocket for my many flash cards. 🙂

I've been using that Bytecc multi-card reader myself for a while... very happy with it.

Thank you, eplebnista and AnitaPeterson. I placed an order for a Bytecc. The price is certainly right and I like the internal USB connection.

Yeah, but I frequently forget mine, or misplace it, or leave it at work, or my wife has it... 🙂 I want one that's stuck to the computer.

The Bytecc is only a 3.5" device, hence the 5.25" adapter I linked to above.
