I finally got tired of working with just one monitor so I researched some options and found the StarTech USB external video card. It just arrived today and I had it setup in just a couple of minutes. I was really impressed by the ease of setup and how it automatically expanded my display onto the second monitor. The only thing I had to do was to change the order of the monitors under the resolution screen since the second monitor is on the left instead of the right.
The quality of the second display is awesome. There might be a very slight lag as I'm moving windows around the screen and I thought I saw some jerkiness when viewing Netflix in full-screen mode on it earlier but I am running through a USB 2.0 port so that might be it. It doesn't affect usability and It wasn't enough to detract from my rating.
The USB pass-through port was one of the reasons I bought this model and I just tried it with a flash drive. I copied 780 MB from the flash drive to the computer with no issues and no affect on the performance of the second display. Comparing the performance with another port on the machine, the transfer speed seemed roughly the same.
I've only been using it for about eight hours at this point so I can't swear by it but so far, I really like it and I'm glad to finally have a second monitor.

Turn a USB 3.0 Port Into a VGA Output Port With This AdapterThe USB 3.0 to VGA Adapter turns a USB 3.0 port into a VGA output port with 1920x1200 (WUXGA) video support. The adapter features built-in USB 3.0 pass-through, which offers a connection port in place of the USB port used for connecting the VGA adapter – an ideal workaround for Ultrabook or laptop users where only a limited number of USB ports are available. |
Add Multi-Monitor Capability to a USB 3.0 Enabled Desktop or Laptop ComputerFunctioning as an external graphics card, this USB to VGA adapter provides a convenient way to add multi-monitor capability to a USB 3.0-enabled desktop or laptop computer (optimal performance from USB 3.0, backward compatible with USB 2.0). |
Delivers High-Definition Content to Your VGA DisplayLeveraging the high-bandwidth (5 Gbps) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, the adapter delivers smooth, high-definition content to your VGA display / projector. The adapter can be used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display, or to extend your desktop to double your workspace and increase your productivity. |
