StarTech.com USB 3.0 ExpressCard Adapter - 2 Port SuperSpeed with UASP, 5Gbps (ECUSB3S22)

This is a USB 3.0 ExpressCard adapter designed to add two SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports to a laptop or desktop with an ExpressCard slot. It supports transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps and is ideal for users who need faster data transfer for external storage devices, printers, or other peripherals. The adapter is compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices, ensuring backward compatibility with older equipment. It also includes a built-in external DC power connector, which is optional for certain high-power devices.

The adapter features a side-by-side port design, making it easier to connect multiple devices simultaneously. It supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), which improves data transfer efficiency by reducing CPU overhead. This makes it suitable for tasks that require large file transfers, such as video editing or backing up large datasets. The compact form factor ensures it fits easily into most ExpressCard slots without taking up much space.

The device is built to be durable and reliable, with a plug-in module design that is easy to install and remove. Its lightweight construction (approximately 1.13 oz) makes it portable for users who need to move between different computers. The included USB to DC power cable allows for optional power delivery to high-power peripherals, though this is not always necessary for standard USB devices.

The package includes the adapter itself, a USB to DC power cable, a driver CD for installation, and an instruction manual. Users should ensure their system has an ExpressCard/34 slot before purchasing, as this is a requirement for the adapter to function properly. The warranty covers two years, providing some assurance of product reliability.
