CalDigit SuperSpeed Expresscard 2 Port U

Good Product ! Cuts the footage transfer time in half v Fire wire 800 (Had 65GB HD to transfer to a hard drive , with fire wire 800 it would have bin at least one hour , with this device 35min. The power connector on the side seems to be a bit delicate

Product as described and works great!

I use it to add USB 3.0 ports to my Apple MacBook Pro 17" 2011 model laptop. It transfers large data files from my Western Digital My Book 3TB hard drive at ~500MB/SEC compared to ~300MB/SEC with USB 2.0 ports that came with the laptop. It is almost twice as fast, although, not 10 times faster than USB 2.0 like described. I would buy this product again, however, it can be difficult to setup. I had to reinstall my OS after it caused my USB 2.0 ports to stop functioning on the first installation attempt. It seems to have driver problems with OS X Lion 10.7.1. I have not had any problems with OS X Lion 10.7.0.
