Patriot USB 3.0 ExpressCard Adapter (PCUSB3EXP) and SuperTalent SuperCrypt flash driv

Please relocate if necessary. I did not see a "Peripherals" forum.

Recently received the aforementioned products. However, when I plug my USB 3.0 flash drive into the patriot expresscard adapter, nothing happens. The device doesn't even receive power. USB 2.0 drives work fine with the adapter, and the flash drive works fine as a USB 2.0 device when plugged in directly to my computer. Thoughts?

Hi zaventh,

Send us an e-mail with your address and shipping info. We'll get you an adapter for your ExpressCard...

It sounds like the flashdrive you are using might not be a true usb 3.0 drive but it is using a raided bridge solution which is likely to draw more power. In which case, the adapter we'll send connects to an existing usb 2.0 port that should power your drive.

Please send an e-mail to support@patriotmem.com you can refer them to this thread.
