I don’t wanna hurt its feelings, but the Media Tank is one chunky MoFo. At 245mm X 176mm X 83mm and 695g, this external media reader will pretty much negate whatever space savings you might have accomplished by purchasing an LCD screen. Still, if having a machine that reads most of the digital media you own, regardless of the format, means that it’s got to be a little chubby, then so be it.
The Media Tank comes with a DVD burner, a 3.5 HDD (Hard Disk Drive, not included), and a 6-in-1 card reader (CF I/II, MD, SD, MMC, MS/MS PRO). It even packs its own fan! It sits on your desk and connects to your PC via USB 2.0
Starts at around ?150.

The Media Tank External Media Reader…
Probably the next best thing to having a Sherman on your desk, the Media Tank from ATMT is an external media reader that reads pretty much anything you throw at it. Firstly, let’s not ignore its size: the Media Tank……
So I put my 1.44mb floppy in…yeah…
Not that I use floppies, other than for my sneaker-net at work, but if your going to call it a “Media Tank”… then it should at least accomodate media that many computers can produce, albeit outdated.
Also, why not a 2.5” HDD and slim notebook DVD-Writer? It could be half the size/weight and still have a floppy drive…
They can call the big one a Tiger II and the small/light one a Sherman…
