Pros: Open box. Remove card. Plug card into old Dell Studio 1535. Plug 2TB WD Passport into USB 3.0 port. Woosh! 2TD of fast access USB 3.0 ready to go. Way too simple. I wish I had known about this Express card years ago (I didn't even know the 1535 had an Express port. Great way to give new life to an old computer. I now have an older computer running 64 bit Ubuntu, a 260 GB internal SSD and a 2TB external USB 3.0 drive. I will run the 1535 until it totally dies. I see no reason to update at this time.

Cons: It's a little big but once plugged in, it disappears :-)).

Overall Review: If you are struggling with an I/O bound system and have an Express port, this is the way to go!

Breathed new life into an old Dell laptop. If you have the xpress slot, buy this card.
