4 port USB 2 PCMCIA/Cardbus card $19.99 shipped at Newegg.com - has anyone used this card?

[Rhess3]

I searched for other deals and the best I could find was $19 at PCIMICRO for a 2 port card. The 4 port card at Newegg also includes a power adaptor (for usb devices such as a 2.5 inch external drive that doesn't have its own power supply).

Not to crap or anything, but reviews seem to be pretty sucky. Buyer beware!

Thanks for the info, I looked at the reviews and they were bad. I cancelled my order and now I need to find another vendor for a usb2 card.

Fleabay always has a bunch of these...

I just got one that is powered by an existing USB port, so no need to worry about using a wall adapter...
