USB 3.0 PCI-Express mini?

[levelchaser]

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 Laptop. It has a smaller "PCI-express mini" card slot. I'm getting a usb 3.0 1 TB Western Digital MyPassport and I was looking around for a usb 3.0 pci express mini card that is generally small, and not bulky. If there is any alternative for upgrading to usb 3.0 for my laptop I'd appreciate a suggestion.

the only one I have found so far is this one:
Amazon.com: Patriot 2-Port USB 3.0 34mm ExpressCard Adapter PCUSB3EXP: Electronics

but that is extremely bulky and ugly looking to keep on my laptop. I suppose I could always put it inside my hard drive case...but I'll do that as a last resort.

Any help is very much appreciated, thanks!

There are other companies who make this, but...

All of them look bulky and don't forget that these cards also require a power supply. It'll take some time until the size shrinks, probably when everybody starts to use USB 3.0 devices...

Sometimes you just have to go with bulky and ugly to get what you want.

lol, I always get sleek and sexy one way or another. I'll just wait it out and stick with the 2.0 on my laptop for awhile I suppose. I can get a 3.0 pci express (regular) on my desktop for now.

Thank you guys for all of your input.
