Summary: Overkill & Underfit
Comment: All the ports seem to work OK, but when the 2006 Dell E310 Dimension case is reassembled, the way the usb ports are aligned perpendicular instead of parallel to the bracket prevents their use. For my needs maybe 2 USB and 1 FW port might have been enough, if they were in the proper bracket oreintation, and I use a powered USB hub. I didn't return it however.

Summary: Poor quality control
Comment: Bought two. First one in computer would not start. Tried in two computers. Has whitish stuff on IC legs. Looks to be poorly soldered. Second one made computer studdddder and USB writes were slow to an SD card. Loading down the bus some way. Took it out, computer went back to normal. Saw that two of the legs on IC were touching. Had out white stuff on legs. I bought these two a month apart. Also had bought 2 other Sabrent products, one of those two was broke out of box, that 3 out of 4 = 75% bad out of box. Stay away from Sabrent. It is cheap but it is junk made in China. Both items had QC Passed stickers. What a joke. I have not so good eyes anymore and could see the bent legs and white stuff without a magnifier.

Summary: Sabrent usb& firewire pci card
Comment: Card seems to work fine on 2-3 of the USB ports but problem on a couple of the others. Maybe I need to set something under device manager but no indication in the installation instructions. They should mention that a couple of the ports 1 usb and 1 firewire are internal which seems useless to me.

Summary: Don't buy it !!!
Comment: I installed the product, and the computer found the new hardware and has installed the drivers. Than I tried to use it. I used several programs to import some video (Adobe premiere CS3, Premiere Elements 4, 3, Ulead, DVgate, Pinnacle 11 Ultimate...). No luck ! The computer froze. I have a Sony with XP, 2 gb ram, Nvidia with 526 mb and 500 gb hardrive. It just dosen't work. It was cheap...but trash. So I bought another firewire PCI from CompUsa for 15$ which worked perfectly (it came with cable, to).Next time I will realy consider what other reviews are saying about a product, before buying it! So, again, my advise is don't buy it! But ultimately is your money...

Summary: Works fine with driver update
Comment: I got this for a computer that was several years old and did not have USB 2. This installed easy and seemed to work ok but then I found that the dialup internet access was not working properly. I checked the the USB drivers (from Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager) and found a couple that needed to be updated. When these were updated everything worked fine. It is just what we needed. We were interested in the USB ports and have not used the firewire ports.
