    I bought an express card with 3 USB ports from eBay (AKE Express to USB3.0 card 3 Ports) but my alienware wont recognise it. Where can I find drivers so at least I can utilise it to backup my hard drive.

    Looks exactly like this;

    Try to contact the seller, they should be able to tell you where to get the drivers if they're needed.

    If you have no luck contacting the seller, then try 'Driver Identifier'. I use it for Windows drivers and have only found one piece of hardware that it wasn't able to find good drivers for (And I've used it on a good number of systems).
