I was one of the unfortunate people who bought the Startech 6-port USB card. It immediately began crashing my computer, and leaving ghost devices in my system. I eventually had to reinstall windows because of that card. I emailed the company to complain and was given an RMA for the PCI420USB. Sure, I lose 1 internal port, but I didn't really need them anyway.
The card arrived yesterday and I installed it last night. So far I've been able to plug in my Ipod without any trouble, and have a game controller running through a hub without any conflicts. This isn't a name brand, but the company did follow through, and so far I'm happy with this card.

I have used StarTech USB cards in a number of my systems. Like the others, this item was easy to install and the performance has been excellent. Highly recommended.

I tried in 3 different macs and it doesnt work. Try another brand with a bigger name, more expensive but it gonna work for sure.

The manufacturer claims on the box that this card is compatible with Mac OS 8.6 and up, but the instructions inside specify OS X, and no driver is provided for earlier systems. Also, with OS 9 on a Power Mac G4 MDD, it prevented my computer from going to sleep completely and prevented it entirely from waking up.
