i am trying to create a ghost image using this card and a ghost boot cd, will it work? will it recognize this card's usb 2.0 parts upon booting up?

I have no clue. However, it boots up just fine. It's so cheap, it's worth puyrchasing just to find out.

I have not tried to boot from a USB flash drive using a PCMCIA USB card. But I have encountered problems with some older computers/laptops refusing to boot when there is a flash drive in the USB slot (no PCMCIA card). And there was no setting in the BIOS to allow booting from USB. It depends on at what point the PCMCIA card becomes active. The only way to tell with the unit that you have is to purchase and try it.L

The answer is almost certainly No, but it might depend on the computer's motherboard and BIOS. I've never created a ghost image, but on two older laptops I worked on the BIOS sees nothing placed in the PCMCIA port until well after an operating system has started booting. I have a old Dell latitude D600 that consistently locks during the final stage of Windows XP boot if any sort of flash drive or external hard drive is plugged into a USB port in the PCMCIA slot. H

Hi,I've been searching for a while now, and am unfortunately still confused.Is this card 'by default' in IT (initiator-target / Straight Through) mode as Andy O. indicates recently?orMust the card be flashed to set it to IT Mode as indicated by John B., shortly after Andy's comment.I too want to use it for ZFS / Storage Spaces and would like disks presented without RAID or using multiple RAID 0 arrays.Thanks!Ed

Yes, otherwise the card won't be seen by the OS when you start up. The card has worked flawlessly for me (Win8.1 Pro x64), and the drivers are recent from the company website.

No `it would not support boot ROM..Any 3.0 USB card,Including 3.0 USB mother board built in, not support boot ROMBecause they are not plug and play, the os recognize it as unknown devise So you need to install each time software for 3.0 USB, even if you format the software and install the os again 3.0 USB not be available till you install the software But USB 2.0 built in, or support cards they can because they plug and playsupport boot ROMam sorry

Yes, it will work with a DVD drive. However, in my case my computer's BIOS was not able to identify the card and DVD drive and so I was not able to set it up in the boot sequence. Once you get booted into the OS, the card and DVD drive will work fine. More modern BIOSes may be able to overcome this challenge.

Thanks..!!Do you mind my asking what drivers do I need? (Haven't done this before ^_^ )

I don't believe it should have anything to do with whatever operating system you are using. It is just a storage device adapter. I use mine in a electronic picture frame.

I recall it worked with my version of Ubuntu, but that was a long time ago, not sure what version of Ubuntu u have and the firmware version right now. Sorry, cant be of more help.

Hi Josue. Sorry, I'm not that tech savvy. What I did is I typed my computer model into my google browser with game card for . . . model type. Then I read through the reviews to see if anyone had the same model as mine that added it and that it actually worked. There are a lot of YouTube videos that are helpful too. I have learned more through watching the various videos there than anything. I have changed out and upgraded memory, and upgraded from the integrated memory cards. Sorry I could answer your question specifically. GM

I haven't test it; but I think there's no problem if you reformat it.The only issue could be related to the physical size of the card, please verify it before buying

Do not believe this vendor sells the card separately . it is also a version that boots from the SD card itself (side boot). Does not root and overwrite the internal drive. Sort of like a dual boot. Previous response mentioned download and doing a perm format. I plan on doing this as well, but recommend caution and follow the process outlined.

On my early 2008 15" Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, I plugged it in and it immediately worked. No drivers, no restart, good to go. I have a GMyle card with a Fresco FL1000 chip, and a nameless card with an NEC UPD720202 chip, and neither worked despite endless hacked drivers and workarounds. This seems to be the one.

I bought one and ended up returning it after we could not get it to work. Found out from black magic tech support that these are very specific to the hardware you have. They wanted me to build a new computer to support their hardware. My hardware met their specs but found out it would only work with a specific motherboard and BiOS. I recommend you call them before you purchase this to ensure it will work. I ended up getting a star tech one that worked great but it was not usb.

Yes. I am running my OS on this drive. I had to switch to legacy boot mode to get it to work.

Yes it "should" be fine. If for some reason Vista does not recognize and successfully load the driver. You might try to manually do a Windows/Microsoft Update. If that doesn't work, restart the computer with the card installed to see if Vista will load the driver. If that doesn't work; get a 12lbs sledge hammer and swing away...

Go to the boot menu. BIOS. Under legacy settings you have to change it to allow the computer to recognize the card. Especially for Windows 8. Good Luck
