Use ExpressCard SSD via PCI-Express instead of USB

[Guest]

When I plug in my ExpressCard Flash Harddisk it connects via the USB bus (i
can see that in the device manager or using the disk´s proprieties).
I don´t know how to tell the device to connect via the PCI bus.
The card and the computer should be able to do this (it is a standard
ExpressCard feature two allow connection via PCI or USB) but i don't know
where to change that setting.

This device uses non-volatile flash memory, so can't do what you want it to.

The manual says the card is fully compatible with both ExpressCard standards:
PCI Express interface and USB serial interface.
I'm pretty sure it should work via PCI-X. Maybe there is a driver needed but
there's no driver available from transcend.
