If you are wondering whether to go with Wireless USB 2.0 adapter or PCMCIA PC Card then you have reached the right blog. Arguments in this blog are impartial and they are solely based on the author’s technical understanding. SizzleTwist.com is offering the Linksys PCMCIA Adapter 802.11n 802.11g Wireless WPC300N as the Sizzling Deal of the Day of a price that is unbeatable. Here is a breakdown of some key differences between USB 2.0 and PCMCIA PC Card adapters –

Data Transfer Speed – USB 2.0 supports up to 400 Mbps however PCMCIA PC Card function at bus speed therefore there is no limitation from the adapter perspective.

Space Saving and Mobility – USB adapters are tiny and for most of us will have not have any space issue, similarly PCMCIA cards are almost hidden. But when it comes to mobility PCMCIA definitely has an edge over USB adapters. USB adapters stick out quite a bit from Laptop or Notebook and it is very easy to break them while moving about. I once broke a USB thumb drive so bad that even the USB port became unusable.

Portability – USB Adapters can be used with desktops and notebooks whereas with PCMCIA PC Card you are stuck with laptops that have the PCMCIA slot.

Cost – PCMCIA Adapters and USB Adapters both have almost similar price range i.e. around $25.

So if you are planning to use the wireless adapter with laptop only and you have a PCMCIA slot then clearly PCMCIA PC Card Wireless adapter is the winner. But if you are someone who plans to use this multiple devices then USB 2.0 is the way to go.
