4-Port USB 2.0 34mm Express Card Adapter for Laptop

Pros: - Great price! - Windows 7 x64 recognized the ExpressCard as soon as I plugged in, no external driver installation needed. - Full 2.0 USB speed on the 4 ports (tested with a Sandisk Cruzer Micro flash drive, 80gb iPod Classic and 16gb iPhone 3GS sync). - You can plug and unplug as much as you like (to swap for another ExpressCard - in my case, a Firewire ExpressCard).

Cons: - It looks a bit weird that USB hub sticking out of the notebook, but that's ok.

Other: Great price for a 2.0 USB hub, perfect for those who need additional USB ports on their notebooks.

Pros: Works great! Gives you 4 additional USB 2.0 ports. Since it is just a USB hub, it does not require any drivers other than what is "standard" and it will install without problems even on Windows 7 64 bit. If the supplied power cable is connected to an existing USB port, it will power the devices also during suspend. This means you can connect for instance a MCE remote, a keyboard or a mouse to it and it will be able to wake the computer from standby. I currently have a MCE remote hooked up to it and it works fine!

Cons: It is not a stand-alone chipset. It is only a hub that will connect to whichever USB chipset your expresscard slot is hooked up to inside your machine. If you do not connect the supplied power cable, the USB ports will not be powered during suspend (at least not on my machine) and that means nothing that is attached to it will wake up the machine.

Other: This is just a hub, but it may connect to a different USB chipset than your USB ports. On my laptop I had only USB 3.0 ports, and my MCE remote refused to work when connected to them, even if I put a USB 2.0 hub in between. But fortunately my expresscard slot was wired to the USB 2.0 chipset of the MB chipset and therefore it worked when I connected the MCE remote to this card instead of my USB 3.0 ports. :o)
