"Does exactly what it says" 2008-09-12
By Charles Crowley (Albuquerque, NM)
I had an older Dell with no USB 2.0 ports and wanted to sync my iPod more quickly. This device did exactly what it was supposed to do, the iPod syncing was many times faster. The only problem was that it takes up a PCI slot. I got rid of my modem card, no big loss there.
"Says Mac Compatabile, but not at Usb 2.0, just Usb 1.1" 2007-07-24
By Grant Thienemann (Southern Virginia)
I bought this seeing that StarTech said this pci Usb 2.0 card would also work on my Mac. I got the card, installed it into my computer and booted my computer. The driver cd they provided included a ton of drivers, however they were not organized well at all.
I finally found about 12 Mac drivers and since none of them said what exactly what they were, I proceeded to install all of them, I would usely just get to the screen that tells me what the driver was for and then quit if it was not the Usb. Finally discovered there were 3 Usb drivers for the mac.
Anyway, after installing the correct driver, I rebooted my mac and proceed to plug in my Usb 2 device, the Elgato Turbo.264 - Video H.264 (MP4) Encoder Hardware 10020500, and it was not compatabile, the software could not see that I plugged in the Usb hardware encoder into my Mac.
After some investigating in System Profiler, the card was only running at Usb 1.1. That is when I went to StarTech's website and come to find out, yes the card is Mac Compatabile, but only at Usb 1.1. This card might work great for windows computers, however I do not recommend this card if you are looking to add Usb 2.0 for your Macintosh. I would recommend the Sonnet Allegro USB2 Serial Network Adapter. The Sonnet card is a true plug and play card for Macs.

I plugged this into an open PCI slot, and booted up the WinXP machine. The drivers were automatically found. I didn't need the included cd. Now my old desktop has USB 2.0 speed, for less than 15$.
"Works on a G4 Mac" 2007-03-20
By Wylie Fisher (Asheville, NC United States)
I purchased this for use on my G4 Mac (Digital Audio) so I could plug my 2G iPod nano into it. The card fit well into the computer, no fuss no muss. Didn't even need to put the CD into the disc drive, just plug and play. So far so good. When I tried to plug the iPod cable into it the computer wouldn't mount the iPod in iTunes, or on the desktop. Only place I can find it is in the System Profiler. Very wierd.
Other than that the card works great, I have my printer plugged into it and it works very well.
Perhaps I have not found a way to have the iPod work with it. Hopefully a way is out there.
"Easy like 123." 2006-03-14
By John Bediako
The 2 Port Ultra fast USB 2.0 PCI was so easy to install my cat, Princess could have done it. It performs seamlessly as advertised. I will gladly recommend it to anyone considering the cost and the easy installation. My Multi-function printer is very happy.
John.
