    Hi,
    I brought a Compaq cq42, 5 months ago. Found out about USB 3.0 last month, but can not add this to my laptops, as there is no Express54/32
    port on it.
    Using a flash drive to transfer files from my desktop to my laptop, takes
    (it seems forever) to do. Now I am downloading many movies & mp3's
    to take me, when I travel. And it takes a long to do transfers.
    Anyone knows of a walk around for my problem? 5 months & my laptop
    wasn't future proof. Shhh!
