The DUB-C2 is a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 2-port CardBus adapter that upgrades notebook computers to the new and faster USB standard. This card is designed to work with mice, keyboards, external CD-R/RW's, external hard drives, PC cameras, and all other USB enabled devices. It is 40 times faster than previous USB adapters and 20% faster than Firewire (IEEE-1394). Each of the two USB 2.0 ports transfers data at 480Mbps (Megabits per second), making it ideal for external storage, backup,
networking and digital video.
The DUB-C2 is compatible with USB 2.0 standards and is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and USB 1.1 products. This gives you the ability to connect all of your USB 1.x devices to the DUB-C2 USB 2.0 adapter and they will work. Each port detects whether the connected device is USB 1.x or USB 2.0 and automatically runs the device at the correct speed.
The DUB-C2 supports Plug-and-Play installation which makes the DUB-C2 easy to install.

It is excellent for device that already have their own source of power supply.
I own four enclosure external drive. One is a big box with a regular PC hardrive enclose inside and it have it's own power cord that I must plugh to the wall.
My other two external enclosure devices are both small 2.5'' laptop hard drive that I use as external drive now.
The big external drive work fine with the cardbus adapter and start to work quickly, but the two others who rely on the USB power make strange noise like if they are running dead and ocrourse, there is no result.
When I remove them from the usb2 cardbus and use them in the usb1, after also removing the USB2 cardbus adapter,they work fine now because the usb1 port have all the power for it self and can provide it to the external drive.
I think the usb2 cardbus adapter should have it own external power and dont rely on the laptop usb power because some old laptop can provide enough power only for one usb.

This D-Link DUB-C2 cardbus adapter caused so many problems I gave up on it. D-Link support was futile, hours spent by me with no results. Never again.
So I bought an ADS Tech Dual-Link cardbus adapter DLX-181 that arrived today. Nice card: two USB2 ports (one powered via adapter, one unpowered), one firewire 6-pin and one firewire 4-pin ports.
Most support and forum gurus say not to install the proprietary drivers but to let W2K with SP4 find and install its own drivers. I did this
but to no avail. I suspect all my enhanced USB2 drivers were mucked up due to the stupid D-link/OWC drivers.
So I installed the drivers that came on the ADS CD (ALi drivers) and card delivers USB2 speeds. 9g of data transfered to my external HD in 20
minutes (vs. 2.5 hours previously). ADS Tech card and drivers are just dandy. USB2 speeds and Firewire when needed.

This product works well, without the need for an external power supply which several of the others do. I had no trouble with this card period. Using my external hardrive, I did a backup with a transfer rate of 150 Mb/min which is excellent compared to my 6 Mb/min with the usb 1.0 port built into my laptop. It isn't the most expensive in this group but it is one of the best.
