One of the biggest problems many computer users have come across is that of connectivity. Namely, the variety of storage media available on the market is quite high, and connecting each and every one of your handheld gadgets to the PC could prove to be quite a daunting task, especially if reaching behind the central unit is kinda difficult - and it usually is. However, the smart and innovative people from Thanko have come up with a very interesting solution to this problem, namely the AeroCool Infinite Drive.

And they were right to call in Infinite. The user is able
to connect just about any storage device to this device that fits in the computer's 3.5" bay, from memory cards to USB Flash Drives to headphones. Actually, you can even connect a 2.5" (9.5mm) HDD via the special mount built-in the device. Now let's take a look at the device's most important features and specs:

- installed in the computer's 3.5" bay;
- features a 4-Slot 25 in 1 card reader;
- compatible with 2.5" (9.5mm) HDD;
- features a key lock system for preventing damage to the HDD and loss of files;
- includes 2 USB 2.0 ports;
- built in microphone and headphones jack;
- compatible memory cards: SM / XD Ready / CF I / CF II / MD / CF-Ultra II / CF Extreme SD / MMC / MMC II / MMC 4.0 / RS MMC(Adapter) / HS MMC / Mini SD(Adapter) / SD-Ultra II / T-Flash(Adapter) MS / MS PRO / MS Duo(Adapter) / MS PR Duo(MG)(Adapter) / MS PRO(MG) / MS(MG) / HS MS PRO(MG) / HS MS PRO Duo(MG)(Adapter) / MS PRO Ultra II.

The device is available at Thanko for 61 US dollars, which quite a lot, considering the fact that all you pay for is easing your access to certain functions and features already included in all the PCs.

Doesn't this go in the 5.25" drive bay slot? I've searched for the 3.5" version to buy on websites but I've only seen the 5.25" bay device.
