USB to express card slot??

My laptop has 3 USB 2.0 slots one is combined with an e-SATA slot. Could I buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001765PZG/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001BEF3YC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0D8QHSCDX87YFABA50YM  
 
and one of these to use with my laptop?? : http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UAD2SoloLap/   (I couldn't seem to get both pictures to post so there is a link to the UAD Solo Laptop) also would I have any problems with having to use two instances of ASIO drivers? I don't think so, it looks plug and play and the UAD Solo has its own chip t run its plugins right, so no ASIO needed there, ... I think.

    You could, but I wouldn't!
    Might be great for wireless phones, but it looks scary for audio.

    Edit after your edit:
     
    Looks like you need a companion adapter, and, you can only run one ASIO driver at a time unless you use something like ASIO4ALL.

    Why do you need two Express card slots? Or doesn't your laptop have an express card Slot? Are you sure as it seems really strange for a laptop to have USB 3 and eSATA without an express card slot. What model laptop
    UAD runs plugins so doesn't need ASIO drivers. If it did no-one could run UAD cards because of the ASIO limitation already mentioned. ie you couldn't run a UAD card as well as an audio interface that relied on ASIO drivers.
    I think the Octa capture runs off USB so what's the problem?


    My laptop has all those ports on it as well as an Express card 34/54 slot

    No, I don't have an expresscard slot, have 3 USB and one doubles as e-SATA. I think that the USB is all 2.0 and I imagine that the UAD expresscard would hit a bottleneck going into USB 2.0
     
    I have been looking around for an Expresscard expansion that connects to e-SATA, I think that would work if I coul find it... then again perhaps soon USB 3.0 and GPU will change everything... it's no biggie, I was just thinking it would be cool to do if I could. There is another adapter on Amazon that costs a little over 150 bucks, as opposed to the 10 dollar one I posted, I assume there is a bit of a difference between them but still neither might work for this application... my laptop:

    Having dome a little checking around. The UAD card is a PCI e (Express)equivalent card and the USB to Expresscard adapter does not support PCI e.
