USB 2.0 High-Speed PCI 32-bit 33MHz Host Adapter, 4+1 USB 2.0 Ports, 480Mbit/s The USB 2.0 High-Speed PCI Host Adapter supports a transmission rate of up to 480 Mbps (Megabits per second) to give better performance (40 times faster than USB 1.1 of 12 Mbps and also compared to 400 Mbps transmission rate of IEEE 1394 firewires) and allows the connection of multiple peripheral devices to function simultaneously. It's fully backward compatible with USB Revision 1.1 devices. The USB 2.0 High-Speed PCI Host Adapter offers high performance functionality through allowing multiple peripheral devices to share the 40-time increased bandwidth. Peripheral deices requiring high speed transmission rates, such as, external storage devices, scanners, DVD drives, CD-RW drives, MO (Magneto-Optical) drives, and digital cameras/camcorders, used to require the use of the more expensive firewires (IEEE 1394), can NOW be supported with satisfaction by this USB 2.0-compliant host adapter at huge cost savings.
