The Akasa USB3.0 two port ExpressCard is supplied in a clear plastic blister back which should provide a reasonable level of protection to the product.  It also features an attractively designed blue cardboard insert that is sure to make it stand out on the shelves.  The front of the packet is molded to the shape of the product, which gives you an idea of its size and shape. The rear of the packet details the units specification.

Purchasing a USB3.0 ExpressCard is the only feasible way of adding USB3.0 functionality to a laptop which doesn't support it natively.  The Akasa USB3.0 two port ExpressCard adopts the favoured ExpressCard 34mm form factor which will ensure the best possible compatibility with machines on the market. Make sure before you consider buying a USB3.0 ExpressCard that some manufacturers don't include an ExpressCard slot on their laptops.

Those who plan to keep this ExpressCard in their machine at all times should consider that it will protrude about 3cm from the side of your machine which can be a hinderance at times.  It is relatively slim, though, so will easily slip into a laptop bag pocket when not needed or when in transit.  We will be evaluating the performance of this ExpressCard in our tests later on in the review.
