PCI Express to ExpressCard 34|54 Slot Drive Read-Writer Front
Synchrotech's PCIe to ExpressCard Drive Read-Writer Front enables PCIe based desktop computers to utilize ExpressCard applications. Unlike many competing devices, EXP54-CR-PCEIF1 specially manufactured highly shielded internal cable allows for true PCIe ExpressCard 2.5Gbps operations! The specially shielded cable is unique to this device. The PCIe 1X configuration allows for the full 250MB/s (megabytes unidirectional) throughput for PCIe based ExpressCards, while the USB 2.0 configuration allows USB 2.0 ExpressCards to operate at their 60MB/s speed. This industrial grade PCIe to ExpressCard Drive accepts both ExpressCard 34 and 54 cards, and is completely transparent to any card inserted. Plug the included USB cable into an available port (preferably internal header type), plug the reader into an open PCIe slot, install the 3.5inch drive bay enclosure, and installation is complete! The device itself requires no drivers. A great way to share devices between modern laptops and desktops, the PCIe to ExpressCard reader is an smart addition for desktop machines.
