Thank you for purchasing the CalDigit SuperSpeed PCI Express Card. This dual-port card plugs
into a PCIe slot on your host computer.
Designed for use with CalDigit certified devices, the CalDigit SuperSpeed PCI Express Card is
the first to offer USB 3.0 connectivity to both Mac and PC laptops with an available PCIe slot.
For the first time, Mac users can utilize USB 3.0 due to a special driver that has been developed
by CalDigit. This two-port card enables the use of next generation USB technology, capable of
speeds up to 5Gbps.
The SuperSpeed Card is optimized for use with CalDigit certified products such as the CalDigit
AV Drive. The SuperSpeed Express Card is compatible with modern Windows systems. CalDigit
does not guarantee USB 3.0 performance on all Macs or when used in conjunction with third
party products. The driver has been optimized for CalDigit certified products. The SuperSpeed
Card is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 (connection to USB 2.0 yields USB 2.0 performance).
