    Pros: Driver installed automatically, and the card is shaped in a way that I can still use my USB port above the expresscard slot. That is about all I can ask for.
    Works like a dream.
    Cons: Like all expresscards, the spot where the plastic end meets the housing is a little weak.
    Be careful not to bump it into anything and you should b fine.
