CF 52 usb 3.0 Expresscard

CF 52 mk4, Win7 32bit.

I tried a no name Expresscard version with an Asmedia chip. The included driver was ancient.
It occasionally blue screened. And I could frequently hear the ding dong Windows sound of connecting and disconnecting hardware.

I just ordered this one with a NEC chip. StarTech ECUSB3S254F
Startech has current drivers and firmware available. I am waiting for it to arrive. I will post my results when it gets here.
I chose the models I did because they both have the 5VDC power port plug between the 2 usb ports. Mainly I want to use usb sticks so power should not be a problem with them. Any other device should probably have the external 5VDC connected.
