Anyone heard of the Infinite Noise random number generator?

For a long time, I've had my eye on the Infinite Noise TRNG.
Anyone heard of it? Anyone made use of it in their Thinkpads?

Basically, as far as I know, it's the best random noise generator out there to produce entropy needed
for encryption applications.

I have a Thinkpad W500 installed with an mPCIe-to-USB adapter and have been
thinking plugging one of those random noise generators inside to improve the devices
security.

But I'm wondering if any Thinkpad user has ever made use of this device before
and benefited greatly from it.

Sorry for late reply but I have a few of them constantly feeding entropy into the Linux kernel. I have it in the docking station of my T480. Really nice product and the best TRNG out there! I run a certificate authority for issuing TLS certificates for the services in my homelab, an the Infinite Noise TRNG supplies entropy for certificate generation with very strong cryptography.
