5.0 out of 5 stars works like a charm!! Easy installation for windows XP., January 22, 2003
By Jason Steele (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
1st tip: logon to adaptec.com and get the latest drivers for this card. Chances are the ones included on the installation disk are not the latest. 2nd tip: Follow the directions provided on how to override XP from installing it's own drivers and install the adaptec drivers. Do these 2 tips and you will have a FAST!, trouble-free usb2 card on your notebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with XP, November 9, 2002
By S. King (Ephrata, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this card for a Toshiba 6100 Satellite Pro. I intended it to work with a Maxtor USB 2.0 portable external hard drive which it does very well.

One thing of interest - I found XP Pro with service pack 1 has a driver for it and there's no need to install Adaptec's. In fact, Adaptec's doesn't install successfully as per their instructions, I'm assuming because of XP service pack 1. No matter, Windows XP's driver works great and at USB 2 speed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Plus for Plug N Play, January 6, 2004
I have a Sony 2.0 G VAIO with Windows XP. Under this environment it was just a matter of plugging it in and the drivers installed themselves automatically. I did not even have to open up the driver CD that accompanied the CardBus. Very impressive if you ask me. I am backing up my files as I am typing this with no problem onto my 160 G external hard drive using the fast USB 2.0 technology.
