Pros: Worksplug n playquick easy install Comment:
Ordered this usb card because the onboard USB ports of someone's computer i built 6 years ago fried. Installed this card and it worked directly out of the box, no installation drivers from a cd required. Impressed with the product, not so impressed with canada post express who created unnecessary aggravation and confusion by claiming in tracking information the product was received successfully BEFORE I EVEN GOT IT. They claimed i had to get in contact with ncix about the package whereabouts, even though its not ncix's responsibility for the tracking information to be falsified. Fortunately it showed up shortly after discovering this |

Pros: Good cards I really like them Comment:
I was making my new machine and having many usb ports isn't a bad thing. Everything takes a port from you. Also it's better than a USB hub because you don't need to plug it in and it clutters the room up (probably would have crappy LED on it too). Definitely buy these cards. |

Cons:
Ran into a couple errors with the drivers, but was solved by restarting the computer a couple times
Pros: Plug and Play, Easy Setup. Windows 7 detected it on start up and intalled the drivers. Had to reboot my computer a couple times before it worked properly but in the end it did. Comment:
Nice and cheap, Easy to setup. Works like a charm. Great deal |

Cons:
Internal port doesn't seem to work for me..
Pros: CheapNo driver install neededEasy to setup Comment:
I bought this as I was running out of USB ports on my desktop. With mouse, keyboard, bluetooth adaptor, RF remote receiver, headset, and webcam plugged in constantly, I didn't have much left for external harddrives or usb keys. Adding one of these helped alleviate that problem, and for the 8 bucks I paid it was definitely worth it.My only issue so far is that I can't seem to get the internal port working. I wanted to put my bluetooth adaptor in the internal port, and found it didn't detect it. Won't even detect a usb key. Not a huge issue as I've got more than enough ports now, but still a bit annoying... |

Pros: CheapLifetime warrantySimple installation Comment:
My brother has an older case/motherboard that has messed up USB ports. He can't even get external 2.5" USB hard drives to properly install and work. For < $10, he has 4 fully functioning USB 2.0 ports now. Very easy to install... Win7 recognized it and it worked right away. |

Cons:
USB plugs stick out a little too much for my liking
Pros: Adds extra USB ports to our machine Comment:
The device adds extra USB ports to a computer. I haven't had any problems with it and my only complaint is that the USB plugs stick out a little too much after they get plugged into the card. |

Cons:
plus do not enter fully!
Pros: pretty cheap Comment:
Well, i didn't like it because your usb plugs don't enter fully inside them, so they stay like 3/4 outs, and can easily fell out. |

Pros: The card is cheap and easy to install. Comment:
I needed to get USB 2.0 support on an old OEM machine with an 850 Mhz Celeron to use as a security webcam server. There was nothing I could do to get the cams I bought working properly on the built in USB 1.1 ports, just terrible, inconsistent performance.I decided to pop in this ~$10 card and give it another go. After removing the buggy Logitech drivers and having another go with the default XP SP3 drivers, the cams work flawlessly and motion capture beautifully.StarTech makes some useful products. I also got the USB 2.0 Active Extensions, which I'll try out and review also. |

Pros: Great for adding USB Ports. Comment:
Great for adding extra USB ports as some mATX Motherboards only have four USB ports. Very good price, especially if you are a premier partner. Fast 2.0 USB speeds. |

Cons: None so far
Pros: Gave me additional USB slots for less than a price I'd pay on a 4 port hub! I got it price matched so paid less than ad.price. Comment:
I was a little startled at first when I first installed this. Pleasantly startled. I plugged it in then booted the machine and waited for XP to say found new hardware, or thought I'd have to install drivers for it. I was so surprised that this card didn't prompt me for any of this. It was a no brainer install...It has 4 USB ports on the back and one internal which may come in handy in the future. So you get a total of 5 USB ports.

Cons: price
Pros: This also works with linux, Ubuntu 9.04 specifically, without any drivers. Comment:
When I first installed it didn't work, then I moved it to a different slot and voila. Bought two of these for aging systems. |
good build quality and has very handy internal usb port for internal hidden connection
