I have a Lenovo T410. Everytime I insert a USB 3.0 cable it ejects the card and I have to reseat it. What am I missing?

It's definitely not just you, Gordon. It's basically, simply the nature of those express card slots. They are designed (as you know ) to release a card by pushing the seated card in at which point the spring loaded latch, ejects the card. So if the tolerance between the male cable end and the card's female receiving slot is too tight, you simply end up activating the release mechanism before the the cable end is seated. Kind of ridiculous, I know. I take my free hand and hold a corner of the card, and finesse it in. It can be done without difficulty once figured out. I still eject it accidentally every once in a while, but the card is worth it if it's your only source of USB3 (like my older MBP that came only with USB2)

This card will not work on mu Dell Studio 17. If this card work on your Lenovo, you should insert the cable on the card first before you insert the card into the laptop.

There are two cables coming out of the back of the unit and both need to be plugged in to the motherboard. The USB ports on the front of the unit are USB 3.0 but the card reader aspect is *only* USB 2.0 and that is why the second cable needs to be connected.

I have the same problem and wondered if some were worse than others .. I have searched on-line with no luck and the best I can suggest is try not putting the card in all the way so you have more card to pull on .. I snap and unsnap the end of the adapter to save the card and this has worked so far .. Please let me know if you find out anything !!

This Express card was purchased due to the fact that my laptop did not have any 3.0 USB ports to offer. The laptop you indicated that you have has 2 available USB 3.0 Ports for you to use. I'm not sure why you would need this item unless that you are needing more USB Ports. This card is not designed to fit in a Memory Card Slot. It is a card-bus type of peripheral/hardware.

I am only using the USB3 function of the card. I planned to use the SATA III port for possible future expansion. The set up I use is one USB3 port going to a Seagate 2 TB expansion hard drive (for backup and system images) and the other port to a USB3 hub. I chose this card because of the dual functionality and price.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Usually, however older add on USB 3.0 cards may have issues. This hub is not recommended for use with older Texas Instruments, Fresco Logic, Etron, or Wistron USB 3.0 host controllers.

I have my card plugged into a PCI-E 2 slot and it works great. Check the cards pins noting the size and configuration, if the slot on your motherboard is the same size and configuration as the pins on the card, I don't see you having any problem. You will need to power the card with a 5V connector and if you cant use the disk that came with the card to install the drivers you will have to go to Anker's web site to down load the drivers like I did. So far I haven't had any problems with my card and installation was really easy. I hope that answers your question. Good luck and I hope your installation goes as smooth as mine.

Because the card reader is connected to USB and seen by the computer as a mass storage device .. no matter what type of card is inserted. When you do a safe to remove the computer disables the entire card reader. I use a card reader that plugs into one of the USB ports, so all I have to do is ... safe to remove ... then unplug it ... then plug it back in. Your dashboard is OK thats just the way it is .. inconvienent though. Regards, Fred

My guess would be that you have turned the cable backwards. USB cables only fit in one way -- the other way would seem to be too large since it won't go in.

I purchased the Inoteck USB 3.0 card that installs into the PCI-e expansion slot on the motherboard. There are several models. Get the one with 7-USB ports because it has two internal USB ports that can be used with the supplied USB to Type-A cable.

How did you format it and what type is it? The cheap ones will not work, I found there is actually a big difference in the quality of USB sticks and its no surprise the cheap ones don't even get recognized by MMI....

If it has an express card slot, then yes. Make sure you download the RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-20200-Setup-x86-x64-Binary drivers. My card worked fine for a while, though the connection was always a little touchy - you had to make sure the card was all the way home. (The card tends to come out when you unplug). Now it really doesn't work at all but I think it's more to do with the fact that it's not making a solid connection on all pins. I've just gone back to USB 2.0 regular ports.

My system has no trouble with the card. The Amazon cable I purchased does not handle USB 3.0 speeds. I thought the card was bad until I plugged a drive directly into the card.

Hmmm....I have not experienced that. Are you using the "remove device safely" function on the right of the task bar before removing the card?

Hi! It is shown with proud on outer box "Super Fast USB 3.0. Exactly what I needed for my modern i5 laptop (it's name Toshiba too). Actually Toshiba quite trustful company make good devices. Maybe this defective one in a million? I will try to recover my priceless pictures and HD videos from my trips from Europe. And hundreds and hundreds of songs and my pictures. My co worker computer guy tried to help me, but could not do anything - it does NOT work...

Hi StevenI have a Lenovo 440T with a powered USB port, the computer runs the drive fine even when I use the light scribe. The unit also has a port where you could run a power supply to the unit as well. I very happy with the unit.
