Customer Rating: 
Summary: USB 2.0 card
Comment: The IO card was easy to install. Start to finish in ten minutes. It works with printers, GPS, wireless hardware and card readers.

Summary: Upgrading from USB 1.0?
Comment: The product came quickly and well packaged (clam-shelled & boxed up). Installation was simple, and this card provided just enough ports to plug in some of my equipment, although I still needed to purchase a separate hub for more ports. I haven't had any issues with this card since its installation. If you can't or don't need to upgrade to firewire, then upgrading to USB 2.0 is the next best option, especially if you use an external hard drive to store your music, movies or other important information.

Summary: IOGear USB PCI cards
Comment: I attempted to install these cards in two different computers. In each case it caused the computer to lock-up. Only after a hard reset and removal of the offending card was I able to restore the machine. I have used add-on PCI USB cards in the past with no difficulty but these are absolutely worthless. Don't buy them!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fast - but incompatible with WD Passport
Comment: I bought this to speed up the connection to a 1TB Western Digital "Book" drive. And it increased my transfer speed to SATA drives in the system by about 30% - 50%.
And the extra ports are nice, but these USB ports apparently don't supply enough power to run a WD Passport drive. It does work with other USB-Powered devices, so I'm guessing the HDD just pulls too much current.
Other than that, I'm very happy with it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: High Speed at a very sLOW cost
Comment: The IOGear hi-speed USB 2.0 PCI card is a natural upgrade from USB 1.0. Upgrade equals faster, much faster, but then you knew that. This single slot card only needed to improve overall performance to be good, but it turns out to be the right economical choice for a top quality, flawless working form of upgrade. I can't recommend various flavors on the back of postage stamps, and it's equally hard to compare one USB board to another, but this is an amazing price point for the perfect quality and function that comes with this board. It's highly recommended.
