Fash Shipment
Pros: This arrived in 2 or 3 days with free shipping. I purchased for my 17 year old daughter and she loves it.
Cons: Has Vista on it.
BEWARE OUT OF WARRANTY
Pros: It fits into your pocket and is very portable. If it works reliably it will be nice to carry in the laptop case.
Cons: I bought 4 of these thinking it would be a nice product to sell to my customers who are short on USB ports. Well I tried installing it on my personal computer. The first port I installed in said it was defective. The second port said it was installed properly. Then I pulled it out and plugged it back into the same port. Now it says it is defective on that port too. So now I try it on my laptop and it works! Hooked up a external drive and worked well enough. The USB Cord is like 2 inches long so that is bad and good. Good because tucks away nicely. This comes with a power booster that plugs into a standard outlet if you need it. The cord on it is rather short too. I decided I would keep the one I opened to put into laptop carrying case, but return the others. So I go back to Newegg and try to return it and I get this: Unfortunately, our records indicate that the manufacturer's parts warranty for this product has expired. Continued in other thoughts...
Overall Review: Please contact the product manufacturer for additional service options. So it appears this product has been sitting around for awhile.
Used to play mp3 on my iPAQ
Pros: I worked great for about 30 days.
Cons: Quit working all the sudden.
Comments: I use this card to add more USB ports to clients computers and for those clients that need to upgrade upto 2.0. I have had excelent results. Windows XP installs drivers automatically.
