Recommendations for Internal Flash Card Reader

I am looking for an Internal Flash Card Reader with a Black faceplate and operating from a USB 2.0 mobo header.

Newegg has several, but I am trying to find out if anyone has any experience or recommendations.

Flash Card Readers at NewEgg.\

I have tentatively picked out the ADI 7n1 Flash Media Bay Reader 3.5" 7n1 Black Color-OEM, Model 680-070 Black, but am interested in recommendations as I am not familiar with any of the brands.

I just bought a Biostar Catcher 6 in 1. It works ok. I decided to go with one that has the regular USB plug instead of the internal header plug because I have yet to find anything that matches the wiring of my MB either by color code or by markings. I'd like to avoid a blown MB if at all possible. A standard USB plug is pretty much a no brainer. 🙂

btw: When I built my system I decided not to hook up the front panel USB / Firewire connectors because :

1. The number of wires did not match the number of pins on the MB

2. The markings on the wires did not match the names according to the manual.

3. color coding of the wires were of no use since the MB pins aren't color coded.

4. I could not find any info that would help me connect the case wiring to the MB. I felt like I was looking for an english word in a Chinese dictionary.

I remember thinking how totally stupid this was but what can I do.

btw 2 : This is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe and an Antec wannabe Chieftec case.

🙁
 
I went ahead and purchased & installed the ADI 7n1 Flash Media Bay Reader 3.5" 7n1 Black Color-OEM, Model 680-070 Black. It works great and did not have to install any special drivers. Windows XP Pro recognized and installed automatically.

Noticed the price has dropped from $21 to $10. Bought it too soon.
