Ab Work Outs: 2-Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus PC Card (fully inside for Notebook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you need USB 2.0 connectivity for an old laptop this is the ideal solution. I highly recommend it.
I had an older 4 port card that finally died after a few years of ownership & thought I'd give this one a try because of the low cost & small profile.

My first concern was how they were going to fit 2 full size USB ports in this size card. It's close, but they did it. Perfect!
The nice value add is that this card does not protrude out of the laptop so you can leave it in when you carry the laptop in a briefcase or backpack.

My second concern was compatibility. I have an older laptop, Dell Inspiron 8600 with 1.6GHz Intel processor & 1GB RAM. I run Windows XP on my primary active partition & am testing Windows 7 Release Candidate on a second partition (running perfectly for a month now)
This card was recognized & installed immediately in BOTH OPERATING SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE DRIVER DISK! Perfect!

My third concern was power. The image above doesn't show that the card is powered from one of your built in ports. This is really important as most of these cards can't support the high power drain of cellphones, cameras & other devices that require power from the port. This card is powered with a supplied cable. Perfect 3 for 3 so far!

Now look at the price... looks like a 4 for 4 to me.
