Ultra ULT40109 8-Port USB 2.0/Firewire Combo PCI Card - 4 External USB 2.0, 1 Internal USB 2.0, 2 External Firewire, 1 Internal Firewire Port

Comment:
The product has performed well as claimed. I installed the product with no problems.

Comment:
I have a Dell Inspiron and although the card fit in the machine, the connectors have trouble because they are horizontal and hit the sides of the slot. Some fit, some don't. That's really my only complaint. Other than that it has functioned very well and been a good card for the price.

Bought this board, am pleased with it. Plugged it in and went to work. Added four additional USB ports to my computer and FireWire that I didn't have. Don't have anything yet for the FireWire ports.

good card for the price. the fit is a little tight but it went it with a some jiggling. would have liked a internal usb pin connection but oh well. the internal firewall pin connection is good.

Comment:
works perfectly and its fit easily

I bought two of these. One for my son's Dell Dimension 2400 and one for my Optiplex. My son makes stop motion video and I compose the music. We needed firewire ports. I put these in and they worked fine from the start. I have to agree, I had a bit of a time getting them to seat in the slots.

Had to tinker with the L-bracket to get this card to install and seat properly in the motherboard.

Comment:
The card would not work until I attached a 4-pin floppy power cable from the power supply to the card. Then it worked fines. Fortunately, my computer's power supply had extra floppy power cables available.

Used this on an older Compaq Presario that only had USB 1.1. Immediate performance increase, all USB ports worked correctly. Firewire worked great with a Third Gen iPod, charging worked as well!

ULT40109 was well packed and promptly shipped. The card was readily recognized by Win XP; not so with Win98FE. Vendor sent a CD containing Win 98 drivers which did not completely solve the Win 98 recognition problem. Took several days of trial and error effort to load the Windows drivers needed to have Win98 recognize the USB board. The positioning notches on the USB board did not match the Prosignia 330 motherboard socket very well. This required a fair amount of force to seat the card and resulted in some bending of USB board's rather thin steel end plate.

I put this card into my Windows Home Server. Drives are recognized right away, no problems there. But everytime I need to reboot the server, drives go missing until I unplug and plug back in. I've seated it in multiple PCI slots with same results. Great card if you never have to reboot.

Yeah, the metal is a little soft and you have to be careful in the spacing in the case cause it can be a tight fit for the connectors however....XP recognized it properly and it installed fine from the start. The card works great with Firewire and USB without any hitches. Excellent product and a great seller of their products.

Comment:
Metal backing plate is a little soft, but overall a good Product for the price.

Comment:
I have installed 3 of these so far and all have been recognized by Win XP. This card saves space because it replaces separate USB Firewire cards. I was unable to find any card with this many ports at this price

Comment:
if you want to extend your usb and firewire ports,this is the right card for it.Nice also is the internal connection,not only through the jacks, through the pin connector (but only one USB). nevertheless its a good buy for the money

Comment:
I was not happy with this card. Even though it works right out of the box the USB jacks on it are made poorly enough you have to wrestle them in. CHEAP!

Comment:
Good reliable card for the money

The major problem I had with this is that since the USB ports run horizontal, they are too close to the edges of the opening in the back of the computer for the card. I can't plug in a USB plug because it actually touches the sides of the slot opening and grounds out the card. I had to run a cable from the port on the inside of the computer out to a USB hub to make use of the card. Other than that, it dropped right in and took off. Oh, and I couldn't get the header plug to run my built in card reader on the front panel.

I bought this card to connect my Sony camcorder to my PC using the firewire port. Everything worked perfectly. If you need a firewire port and extra USB ports (and who doesn't), this card is perfect. I can finally capture my video digitally.

Comment:
I'm running XP pro and after installing it was auto detected and ready for use. Within a few minutes of opening the package I was loading and editing video from my camera without a hitch. I'd recommend this for anyone...

Comment:
No problems here. It works just fine, thank you very much.

Comment:
I bought this product mainly for the firewire and it did not disapoint. I have bought a cheaper one in the past and it did not have the right drivers with it and did not work properly. This one loaded up right away and works perfectly.

Comment:
I plug it in and it worked perfectly. I bought it for the USB ports. I haven't used the firewire ports yet. Great product.

Comment:
great product

Comment:
Simple plug in, no software needed worked in seconds. Installed in my G5 Mac tower and up and running. May even purchase several for clients of mine as I do MAC consulting and repair and this adds a load of new, USEFUL, ports to our systems. Dont often find MAC friendly stuff here, so when I do I am happy to praise it
