I purchased this card because my laptop HP dv9000 series (the one that killed HP) is known for a bad nvidia usb controller that fails over time, killing USB ports. Alas, my controller finally died killing all 4 of my USB 2.0 ports from working and my built-in camera since it uses the same usb controller.So I bought this card as a last resort to save the laptop because laptop has ExpressCard 54mm slot in it. Follow these install instructions or it might get a bit confusing because the driver CD is very confusing. It has no instructions.1. Insert the card into the Express54 slot and Windows should detect it right away, but asking for drivers.2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.When the CD opens up you will see 6 different folders, yes 6 folders full of drivers but no instructions on which one to install. Well, to help you out the AKE card uses NEC drivers. There is a folder there called NEC. Open that folder up and install the drivers in the NEC folder.Reset the computer and boom it should work, as that is what I did and its working for me since. Write down a memo incase you need to reinstall the drivers in the future.Now I have a laptop that has 2 working USB ports again, expanding the lifespan of the laptop since the internal ports are dead. A great fix. Works as advertised. No problems as of yet.Installed on Windows Vista SP2.  Read Less

Just put into an older Dell Xps m1210 (cerca 2007) running Win 10. Initially had eSata express card used with external HDD enclosure (both eSata and USB 2.0 capable) because it gave stable transfer rates not necessarily faster speeds. External USB 3.0 BD/DVD enclosure (no eSata port) couldn't keep up and would only burn at 2x because laptop ports only USB 2.0. I plugged this in hoping for the best. Blown away! Sustained copy speeds of 70 to 90 MBs with multiple large files to/from internal SSD (chokes when mixing multiple medium and small files on one copy pass as internal bus/cpu is old school). Didn't know laptop internals could handle this speed. Had to wait years before price came down. Looks like I still don't have an excuse to get rid of this laptop.  Read Less
