Sabrent USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus Adapter (2 Ports) with USB Power CableItem#: M501-1002  |  Model#: SBT-P2D

Piece of Cake

I got this for a friend at work. His laptop only had one USB Port which was broken. Rather than replacing the motherboard I ordered one of these. Open package, insert card, point to CD for drivers, Done! Works! Piece of cake.

Excellent piece of hardware

I have an older Dell Lattitude laptop with a Pentium 4 and one USB port. I wanted more ports on the laptop, so I opted for this Sabrent pcmcia USB port adapter. It works great. I loaded the driver software, plugged it in and it recognized it. I'm currently running a keyboard and wifi internet off of it. So, this 15 yr old plus laptop lives on... I recommend it to anyone who just wants to keep their old laptop alive as long as they can. Once upon a time they sold PCMCIA adapters for the towers, so you could possibly use one these devices there too.

Worked right out of the box

Opened it up, plugged it in, worked right away.

doesnt work

i hate giving bad reviews but one it does not look like the photo an two it does not work. i have an older laptop i was given. after buying the ac adapter for it i got it up an running but it has no usb ports so i opted to get this but its not working so i am now in contact with the tech at sabrent to see if i can get more info before i return it.

Not exactly as shown

The product I recieved didnt really look like the picture. The power for the unit goes in the side not the front and in which case blocks one of my USB ports on my laptop so I lose one to gain two. Not very impressed so needless to say I wont be using this unit very often.

POOR DESIGN - Broke almost immediately

The power port broke after a few uses at the base inside the unit. The unit is sealed and the break-off point is not accessible. Very disappointed.

Works great

This board works fine. Usual USB add-on weirdnesses but not their fault.

It's a good idea - But

It's too bad it doesn't work.

Very good Product

Easy plug & Play installation on my 4 year old laptop, with dual boot operating systems. Works equally well on Windows XP and Windows 7. I have had no issues with it.

Works fine on a Dell laptop

Recommended a friend purchase it when he accidentally fried his laptop USB ports with static electricity. At first he told me it didn't work. I tried it and it worked fine. The PCMCIA slot apparently doesn't provide enough power so the manufacturer requires the USB power cord to provide power. The laptop's USB data section was fried but power was fine. After installing the cord that came with the card, it worked fine, I could read my 2.5'' USB hard drive.
