The combo USB2.0+FireWire 1394 card provides both USB 2.0 ports and FireWire ports on a single PCI card. Add three ports to the front panel. Combining these two high-speed connectivity technologies on card saves money and a valuable PCI slot.

REVIEWS:
1) Still works great 7 months later: I got this in Aug of "06. I needed a new firewire connection as my old one was not compatable with XP. I also figured I should upgrade my USB connection to a 2.0. I thought I would have to get 2 seperate cards, but this product solved my problem in a 1 stop item.

I use many different USB devices (card reader, external hard drive, printer, MP3 player, mouse, camera and others) and all have worked perfectly (and much faster now that I have the 2.0 instead of only using the 1.1).

I have had no issues in downloading video with the firewire slots. I"m thrilled that I can once again download video so I can send it out to friends and family around the country.

Best part is now having 3 USB ports and the 2 firewire ports on the front of the tower. So much easier to plug devices in now. On the back I have a 4 port hub, a printer and a mouse. Those items don"t need constant unplugging and plugging in.

Very convenient PCI card with easier than simple installation. Very much recommended.
2) USB Hub: This Firewire/USB hub installed in minutes and was recognized by Windows immediately upon booting the PC. I"m running XP with service pack 2 and had to do absolutely nothing else besides the physical install. Having USB and Firewire ports both in the front and the back of my system makes it much easier to plug in the miriad of items that use those ports. I"ve had the unit installed for about two months without any issues at all and I use it for programming MP3 players, my GPS, and for external hard drives and thumb drives. I"m very satisfied with the product from both the quality and performance aspects.
3) wrong color and didn"t work for my computer: I returned it and bought a usb/ firewire card with a port hub
4) Works great but sketchy documentation: The USB/Firewire card and front panel hub installed with no problems and Windows XP loaded the drivers automatically. Everything works great. The only thing that could have been better was the documentation - no guide was provided on hardware installation or internal cable connections.
5) WORKS LIKE A CHARM: After reading some reviews I was a little hesitant about purchasing this product seeing that it gave some people problems during installation. But I popped it in my computer and windows XP SP2 did it"s thing and we were on the way. The product is working fine and I wish I had found it earlier would have saved me alot of grief.
