Not as convenient as I would have liked.. For many USB devices, you need 
to use an AC adapter with the card.. The PCCard slot's don't have enough 
power to run external things. I even had trouble with a 1 gig memory stick.

I really wish you could just upgrade the USB slot's themselves -- if you 
system has them to begin with.


Belkin's were very expensive compared to SIIG -- I have used both and 
both worked equally well.
