Hello,

I am going to purchase the NZXT H440 case for a new build. However, I need a sd card reader. The H440 lacks 5.25 inch bays, but it does have two 2.5 inch bays that are accessible when the side panel is removed. Is there a 2.5 inch sd card reader? Or a way to mount a 3.5inch card reader into the 2.5 inch bays? Thanks.

why not just get an external card reader that is plugged in by USB 3? :|

I would like to avoid dongles if possible. For example, something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/4-Port-SATA-Adapter-Inch-Housing/dp/B00B4KO0A6/ref=pd_cp_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00B4KO0A6&pd_rd_r=V8YEWSET9NHZ9JKD89NG&pd_rd_w=zRMw2&pd_rd_wg=WKbMV&psc=1&refRID=V8YEWSET9NHZ9JKD89NG

Or this:

But with both sd and micro sd. Is there such a thing?
