Hello,

I have a Toshiba Satellite A665, relatively new, that does not have USB 3.0 ports. I purchased an ExpressCard that has 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 slot. The USB 2.0 slot works fine, but the USB 3.0 slot requires an external switching power adapter DC 5.4v, 2A. The power end needs a 1.3mm plug. The place where I bought thr ExpressCard does not sellthe "optional" external power adapter. The only reason for buying the ExpressCard was for the USB 3.0 port to power my WD My Passport 1tb portable drive, which does support USB 3.0. Does anyone know where I can get the external power adapter?

Thanks,
