HDTach 3.0.4.0 8mb zones and HDTune 2.54 were used to test the Apiotek adaptor’s performance. An Apiotek Express Card 24-in-1 media reader adaptor was used for testing. A Sandisk 2.0GB SD card was used as the media in all of the tests.

Test System

• Dell Precision M65
• Intel Core2Duo T5600
• 2GB DDR2 RAM
• Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive
• 15.4” Widescreen
• Nvidia Quadro FX 350M
• Apiotek 24 in 1 express card adaptor

The Apiotek Express Card to PC Card Adaptor easily out muscles the PC card in every single performance category, including CPU utilization. What’s interesting, though, is how this adaptor outperforms the 24 in 1 express card adaptor when connected directly to the laptop. It is nice to see that no speed is lost in the conversion process.

Conclusion
With high performance all around, light weight, and versatility, the Apiotek Express Card to PC Card Adaptor is simply a must have for upgrading that older laptop you’re still using. Of course, some may argue that new devices can be connected via USB. However, using a conversion card like this not only frees up precious USB ports, but also keeps them out of your way especially if the laptop is being used on a your lap. Overall, this is an excellent product!
