Medion USB 3.0 PC Express Card X89003

Hi All,

I just bought: Medion USB 3.0 PC Express Card X89003 in Aldi.
Problem is I damaged the drivers cd that came with it trying to open the bleedin' packaging . I have been onto the medion website but there are no drivers available for the product.
http://www.medion.com/gb/service/start/_product.php?msn=50037757&gid=5

Anyone know where I will get the drivers or has anyone bought one of these? I need Windows 7 x64 drivers.

Thanks

Does it need a driver, it may be just plug & play, try it anyways

No it does need a driver, which suprised me as well.
Any who I had posted on another site aswell and I just got the drivers so all is well now.

Thanks

Heres something to play around with, looks like the Medion device (from a picture I found on Ebay) is the same as the Aluratek device reviewed here. Notice in the review even one of the cons is "Drivers not available on website".
You could try Belkins driver here and see if it installs. It may use the same chipset as the Medion one. However the installer may detect that its not Belkins version and refuse to install.

Hope this helps

Edit:
Here is another driver you could try: http://plugable.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-20200-Setup-x86-x64-Binary.zip
