i just bought a store-brand one at Best Buy at the local shop, internal 3.5"
USB dongle that plugs into the motherboard header.  I think it's a 7-in-1
(or is it up to 14-in-1???)

Works well, but the devfs has a little trick that if you slip in a USB drive
after bootup, you have to write 0 bytes to the devname to have it recognize
slices and partitions...  might be easier to restart devfs or something..


No probs with it, but I don't heavily use it.
