Title: Doesn't work with flash drives. Avoid this one.
Review: Because this card DOES NOT come with a power adapter (the Belkin Cardbus card does, and I'm ordering one after I send this one back) it would not work with my flash drives. One it would not see at all, and the other it would see but not access.I assume it works O.K. with low or non power devices such as USB keyboards or Mice, or with devices that have their own power supply such as an External USB hard drive, but I've tested neither. I just know this one is 15 dollars more, then you need to turn around and buy the adapter, which is not even listed on Amazon?Also, the driver installation was a pain because after Windows XP installs its drivers, you have to disable all the USB controllers on the card, download the Adaptec driver, then it will install the Adapted drivers. That took me about an hour to find on the Adaptec website. I'm a technician and I do this kind of thing all day; it should not be this hard.Avoid this one.
