    I needed this USB card because I have several different printers and a credit card swiper attached to my computer--I run a box office. There just weren't enough USB ports available originally. We were doing a lot of switching around of computers when this was installed so I did not do it personally but watched the tech guy and it looked really easy and it was quick. So glad I am not dealing with any hubs or other parts between the computer and the peripherals.

    Been using card for several months to download Cannon EOS camera to computer. Works very well in this direction. Never tried to upload to a thumb-drive or hard drive. Locks up computer when try to load 5-7mb jpeg files to Seagate, Western Digital 320GB USB drives or to Thumb-drives. Unable to find new drivers at Staples web site. NO SUPPORT AFTER THE SALE!!!

                              This unit does not replace the USB ports that are incorporated within your PC, it gives you more USB ports. If your computer has, (for example) 4 USB ports, this card will add 5 more ports, giving you 9 USB ports total. The card simply installs into a PCI slot on the motherboard.

                            • A:

                              According to my research, you can have up to 127 USB Ports. There can be multiple USB controllers on the host computer. It's possible to have 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 cards on the same host. All you need is the proper slot to plug in the appropriate cards. You do not have to disable the mother board's ports.
