My laptop doesn't have a expresscard adapter, but do have a usb to express card adpater, Will that works fine?

I do not know, but I doubt it will work because USB does not work with the protocol PCI-E

No, USB to express card adapters only support USB based express cards not pcie based ones

No, is the short answer. The maximum speed of usb 2 is 480mbps and is insufficient for pcie. Also do not buy the pe4h for any new graphics card, it is unstable for newer cards and doesn't perform well. Get a pe4l v 2.1b if you can attach the card through a more powerful connection.

Hello, I made the big mistake by buying this without knowing how it was exactly going to work.After research I managed to put my external gpu together & it did not work on my laptop because I had also no expresscard slot.I never tried USB because I think that the connection is not strong enough. What kind of laptop do you have? It mostly work on ACER laptops.I have ASUS and that's not good for this, Some ACER laptops have an extra slot on the motherboard where you can connect it to and that's what I saw someone doing in a youtube video& it worked.

No - it is only for an ExpressCard slot, either 34mm or 54mm. This is similar to the older PCMCIA card slots. It is no longer a very common item on today's laptops but it does exist if you look hard enough.

No, The Express Card and PC Card (PCMCIA/CardBus) are incompatible because they have a different configuration which affects the length and voltage ratings.

Other answers are wrong; ExpressCard works. One can purchase an eStata ExpressCard to connect to any external SATA device such as this one. That is the purpose of the ExpressCard slot - to put in this type of connection. There are different specs for different ExpressCard external SATA connections, so do read the details.

I don't know. I am not using the power port. My laptop has enough power to the card that everything works fine without an external power supply.

Have you tried contacting the company? And why would you need a adapter? It has a USB port.

This MagTek card reader uses a USB cable for a laptop. So you would need a laptop for your transactions. We also had a merchant account set up to process our transactions for us so you will need that as well unless your bank can handle these. Good luck!

Do you have that card reader in your machine ? I'm using this card with a separate purchased card reader via USB

Mine came with a USB card reader adapter. It's very nice, but any SD card adapter should work.

Get a wireless adapter for the pci-e slot. That way you have integrated wireless capabilities and spare a usb slot. Also pci is much faster then usb.http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B0079XWMEI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1394923005&s;r=8-4&keywords;=pci+wireless+card

Get a card reader that will use your existing usb ports. You can pick them up on Amazon, Radio Shack, Walmart, so many places. Get a cheap one....they all work and those that are usb3 compliant might be more than your computer can handle.

I have a 54 mm port in my HP DV7 laptop and the Express card inserts properly and works although I rarely use it because of battery limits.

This is an expresscard adapter, do they make a GPU with an expresscard interface? If its video you're looking for,the thunderbolt port already doubles as the mini DVI port. Hope this helps in any way.

You would need an adapter to go from an SD card to USB, but theoretically, yes.

As long as you have the Express Card slot (it should have a plastic instert in it the same shape as the card) it will work. The technology is not much different that USB as a whole. And installing the card also installs all USB 3.0 Drivers. So its a hardware limitation not so much a software limitation. Works great on XP SP2.

That all depends on the intended use. You have a high speed express slot to a low speed USB. It might work if your going to put a modem in the express slot. If you going to put a game card in the express it won't work.

The previous commentor is correct. This laptop is limited ... but it is a fun little tool. Hope you choose to get it and pursue adapter options.
