This product is easy to install and it works. I have purchased different types of adapters before for different things and it can be hit or miss as far as having them work. Fortunately, this product works in my PC, which is an older model IBM laptop that I use for back up. A plastic piece on the connector to its USB port broke and since the computer had only one USB port, it would have been a significant loss. But this product plugs into the PCMCIA slot and comes with a CD with a driver on it, and it installed right away. It doesn't require an external power source nor does it have to plug into anything else. I'm happy with it.

I installed the card according to the instructions (drivers first, then the card), and Windows XP saw and installed the hardware with no problems. However, whenever I tried to insert a thumb drive it would lock up the computer, forcing a hard shutdown and reboot. This happened with two different brands of thumb drives. I tried system restore and installing the card using XP's native drivers, but the problem persisted. I don't know if the problem is with the USB card or with my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 2650 with USB 1.1 ports). Fortunately Amazon has a good return policy.

This device installed easily and works great with my 7-year-old old Dell Latitude C400.

My Verizon wireless modem works well with it; the software that operates the modem (VZAccess Manager) now loads much more quickly, and downloads from the Internet are much faster than before.

It works well with jump drives, which transfers data much, much faster than with the computer's built-in USB1.1 port.

The only drawback seems to be that it doesn't provide enough power for my external USB drive.

All in all, I'm happy with it

I have a laptop that some how lost power to the USB ports . I was told they could not be repaired OMG I have to buy a new pc . I was told about this pc card am I very happy works great and saved me money too .

Snaps in crisply and makes reliable connections, both with the PC's bus and with the USB 2.0 devices. Works perfectly. I've tried some other brands that have loose, unreliable connections, so I am delighted with this one. With my system, it required no software loading, but the drivers are included with it on a disk, in case you need them.

I bought this for a Dell Inspiron laptop which had non-operational USB ports, and this card worked flawlessly at high speed (USB 2.0). Much easier than a new motherboard (hundreds of dollars).

I bought this to transfer files off of my aging HP laptop after the last remaining USB port conked out. As I initially do with all new computer peripherals, I ignored the installation software and let Windows find the correct driver. (This almost always avoids the problems installation discs can introduce.) It worked like a charm, and I was able to instantly make a full backup of my files. Although I have replaced the HP with a new MacBook Pro, the TRENDnet card has breathed new life into the old Windows war horse; I am still using it for all of my Windows-specific tasks.

I am very satisfied with the performance of this card.

A power surge took out one of only two USB2 ports on my old G4-17 inch Powerbook. This TRENDnet TU2-H2PC works as well as the original port, and it adds an extra port. This card even taps the computer's power, so that the ports can drive USB devices directly. While I was shopping these cards, I noticed that several of them provided only passive ports, so that connected USB2 devices would have to be self-powered; even worse, those cards would have required tapping into the remaining port to provide power. Get this card. It just works.
That thunderstorm/surge also took out the Elgato 250 Plus that was connected to the fried USB2 port. Consider that some devices require a connection directly to a port, not a USB hub. The replacement 250 is connected to the TU2-H2PC and recognizes it as a motherboard port.

I purchased this card for use with my 17" PowerBook G4. It is very easy to use, no drivers required for Mac OS 10.5 and higher. I can plug this into the computer and then my iPhone and iPod into it and get full USB 2.0 speeds!

Works great on windows 7, Lost all my usb ports now i have 2. Fast shipping also .I picked it up this morning and installed it
