I mentioned buying one for my Dell G15 machine I returned because it was lacking. Well, when the Dell/Alienware President's Day Sale hit, Dell had refunded my bank account so I pulled the trigger on an Alienware M15 R7 with far better specs than the G16 I had been looking at, which was already...
I remember jerrying a Cardbus USB 2.0 adapter with two ports. It fit flush, but I had to make it fit. And that was on a different machine. I used to use PCMCIA a lot and Cardbus a lot. That standard was easier to work with than ExpressCard. I never did get my ExpressCard (in USB mode)...
I bought this drive for the Dell G15 I ordered. I'm returning that machine because I don't like the display and decided to wait for the RTX 40-series GPU machines.

Update almost three years later.
The problems the panel was experiencing were traced to the insulation on the wires between the Logic Board and TCON on the panel basically turning into powder. This is the same thing that happened to the RoboSapien V2 robot. I never could scare up a new cable or...
