The CalDigit USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard is the first to offer USB 3.0 connectivity to both Mac and PCs with an available ExpressCard/34 slot. This 2-port card enables the use of next generation USB technology, capable of speeds up to 5Gb/s. Originally designed for the CalDigit AV Drive, the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard now opens the door enabling the use of the latest USB 3.0 devices.
Every CalDigit product is designed with high quality components and the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard is no exception. Utilizing the latest technology, the SuperSpeed Card provides two 5Gb/s USB 3.0 ports on a PCI Express 2.0 card. All components, from the card to the cable, have been tested using a special oscilloscope to ensure optimum performance.
While Windows users have had access to USB 3.0 drivers for some time, there was never a driver for the Mac. And so, CalDigit's engineers developed the first USB 3.0 driver for Mac OS X. For the first time, both Mac and PC users are able to take advantage of the superior speeds of USB 3.0.
Ideal for fast storage, the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard was designed to provide the CalDigit AV Drive the fastest connection possible. With new USB 3.0 devices being announced every day, the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard lets users take advantage of this next generation connectivity.
The USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard comes standard with a premium quality USB 3.0 cable that has passed CalDigit's rigorous tests.
The USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ExpressCard also provides the ability to take extra power from the laptop's built-in USB port. This is ideal for bus powered portable devices, like 2.5" drives that demand more power than standard USB ports.
