USB3 speed
Win XP latest updates.
How is it possible to get USB3 speed on a laptop that has USB2 only? Adapters to a eSATA port, ethernet port or what? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

This is a laptop. I need to read large files from an 64G SD card and I do have an SD to USB3 plug adapter. So also an SD HC 10 card to the laptop migh provide the speed? Looking for recommendations. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

This will work but only if your laptop has an ExpressCard/34 slot http://www.cwc-group.com/3express.html |

The very first place you start, is by reading the "class" indication from the SD card. I have a 32GB SD here, and it only does 10MB/sec. Thus, USB2 to SD will not be a limitation for that one. I don't need USB3 for mine, because it is too slow internally. I use a USB2 adapter. The SD standard has defined some much faster SD types, but I don't know if that stuff is for sale yet. Consult your local Wikipedia for more details ("secure digital"). ******* In the past, PCMCIA, CardBus, or ExpressCard slots on a laptop, were your opportunity for expansion. My own machine doesn't have one. I'm stuck with USB2, forever. And the chances of finding weird_port to SD card, are pretty slim. If you're a hardware designer, maybe there's an opportunity there for you. Perhaps some microcontroller would be a good candidate for doing an iSCSI protocol storage device over Ethernet or something :-) Generally, if there is adaptation available, it is via USB. There is a slim chance, maybe someone makes an IDE to SD. Yup. Always check to see what SD standards such a device supports. The chip used, isn't likely to go faster than the 10MB/sec we're used to. Who would be spinning an IDE chip these days ? There's no reason to make one to support UHS. IDE is dead. http://www.vesalia.de/e_sdide44adapter.htm Then you need another adapter to go from IDE to SATA. And that needs a power source, which you can steal from the VCC and GND pins of a USB cable. You would also need a 40 pin to 44 pin adapter. There would be a royal mess sitting on your table, and it could only be justified if you had the newest and fastest standard of SD. http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-ADA500...ds=sata+to+ide On the end of that, you'd have an ESATA to SATA cable, for the data. ******* So first, you need to find a decent SD device, to make any of the above worthwhile. There is a good chance, yours is just Class 10 like mine. Paul |

All I have seen are class 10 cards as well as a lot of class 4 being sold. I use a cable from camera to computer so I can just leave the card in the Nikon. Andy |
