If you read my "Upgrading a Dell Laptop" post then you'd know why i bought this product for.

For those who you who didn't , i'll explain.

Part the upgrade included replacing the old HDD hard disk with a new SSD hard disk that has significanly lower volume (320 GB in the HDD vs 90 GB in the new SSD).

Since i need a lot of space i purchased a SDHC card that has 64GB and plugged it in the Dell's built in SD card reader.

Time has passed and those 64GBs weren't enough so i decided to but another 64GB SDHC only i had nowhere to plug it in.

So i searched and found this on E-Bay:

installation was simple , plug and play. 

Cost - 10$

Pros:

1. can be used to extended a laptop's storage volume

2. can support SDHC cards , and other 24 types of cards

3. supports bigger storage volume cards

4. easy installtion

Cons:

1. the SD card can be pushed inside the adapter only half way through , apart from being not aesthetic , it presents an opportunity for someone to just extract it out and steal it. Because of this "bulg" that is created because of that , one has to be careful when putting the laptop inside a bag vertically not breaking the card (putting the laptop with the sd card's "bulg" side upwards can fix this problem)
