This review is from: IOGEAR GIC250U 5-Port USB 2.0 PCI Card (USB 2.0) (Personal Computers)
I bought this PCI card because I was getting a external hard drive that used USB 2.0. The installation instructions were very good and when I turned my computer on and inserted the driver cd everything installed without having to do a thing. I would recommend this product to anyone that is upgrading there USB.

This review is from: IOGEAR GIC250U 5-Port USB 2.0 PCI Card (USB 2.0) (Personal Computers)
I got the card to add off board USB support to my Dell computer. It had difficulty handling a 4 port USB hub attached to the computer supplied USB ports. The card went in with no problem. The instructions worked as provided for Windows XP Home Edition.Once installed, the goal was to move a 4 port USB 1.1 hub off the main ports and attach a CD-RW that could take advantage of the USB 2.0 speed. All of this was done simply and effectively. I'd get use product again in an instant.

USB 2.0 Its worth paying a little extra,
By A Customer
This review is from: IOGEAR GIC250U 5-Port USB 2.0 PCI Card (USB 2.0) (Personal Computers)
There are cheaper IOGEAR cards out there, but it is worth paying more for more ports. The two port cards get kind of crowded when you try to plug in a USB yoke, and foot pedals (for flight simulators) the joystick and the mouse. Decisions, decisions. The small amount extra to go from 2 ports to 4 or 5 is well worth it, and I can justify the upgrade, because I want to be able to do faster scanning. If you have no free PCI slots, and have to choose between USB and Firewire upgrade but do have a free drive bay, consider a joint tray card with both firewire and usb slots.
