5 Port USB 2.0 PCI Card

Expansion Without the Trade-Off of Hubs
Expansion
Everybody's got USB 2.0 peripherals-printers, scanners, digital cameras, external drives, an iPod®, an iPhone®-and there never seems to be enough ports on a computer to plug all of them in. If you've got an older computer, it probably has USB 1.1 ports, which are fine for keyboards and mice, but far too slow for transferring data to and from USB 2.0 devices. Add the low cost Sonnet Allegro™ USB 2.0 PCI adapter card to your computer and bring it up to speed with high-speed USB technology!
Forget the Hub
Considering a hub? Consider the trade offs. Every peripheral you plug in has to share a single port's bandwidth (potentially affecting the devices' performance), and you may have to plug it into a power outlet as well as your computer in order to operate some devices. Sonnet's Allegro USB 2.0 adds five (four external, one internal) high-speed USB 2.0 connections to your computer without the need for an external box or AC power adapter-no trade-offs necessary. Each of Allegro USB 2.0's five powered ports supports bus-powered peripherals (devices that work without a separate power supply, including some small external drives and scanners) and hi-speed data transmission.
