Hi George.
You need an express card slot and a lot of laptops these days don't come with
them, unless you’re talking the business ranges which cost upwards of a grand.
If you don't have USB 3.0 on your laptop or an express card slot you’re out of
luck, however most laptops you’ll buy these days will come with USB 3.0 as
standard though its worth checking.
All the best, Ibrahim.

You can also get them for laptops provided you have a slot such as PCMCIA for
one. Also under £30 for a two port one.

Hi Roger,
Yes I’ve seen them at Maplins – 3 port for about £30.00, but remember you
will have to plug a USB hub into a USB 3 port, so will still need a USB3 card.
Doubtless there are cheaper ones elsewhere, and I’ve no doubt prices will
come down as they become more popular.

Hi George
I assume there are usb3 hubs out there or I’ll be continually grovelling to
plug in or pull out from the back of the tower. LOL
Many thanks for the info.

Hi Roger,
First, check if the devices using USB3 are backward compatible with USB2.
However, in an ideal world, if it’s a desktop, and you have a free expansion
slot, the best option is to go for a USB3 expansion card with 3 or even 4 USB3
ports. They are not arm and a leg money.

Hi All
more and more of the commercial posts I receive are pushing USB 3.0 goods.
I’m aware that I need to have some form of conversion on my computer to use
these (well I think I do) but what is it I need? A simple plug in adaptor or
something more complex such as a wired in unit in my tower? Also is it really
necessary to change?
Many thanks
Roger
