Editorial Review:

Product Description:
USB connections are everywhere - chances are if you purchase a device that plugs into a computer, it uses a USB connector. Not all USB peripherals perform the same - many of the latest operate at high-speed and push data up to 40 times faster than standard USB. But you'll need a new connection to get maximum performance - the USB 1.1 connections on your computer won't do. Add the low cost Sonnet Allegro USB 2.0 PCI adapter card to your computer (install it in any available PCI slot) and bring it up to speed with the latest USB technology, 'simply fast'!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sonnet Allegro USB2 Adaptor
Online ordered this PCI-card adaptor to add four USB2 ports to an old Dell Dimension c700 desktop running XP. Desktop only had original USB1x. Card dropped right in to a spare PCI slot, was found by XP, and worked right away.

Works as advertised. Card shape is different than in the photo, but functions are the same.
Helpful update to my old (2001) Mac computer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Deep Sleep compatibility
One issue that has plagued add-in USB cards for the Macintosh for years is problems with power saving. Either the computer will not sleep, will crash on waking or sleeping, or it will lose contact with the card and attached devices. This card, when used with Mac OS 10.5.2 specifically, seems to eliminate these problems. According to email from Sonnet support, this was fixed in the 10.5 beta, broken in 10.5 and 10.5.1, and now works properly. My G5 will enter deep sleep, and wake correctly, even with a ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple to install, works perfectly
I ordered this to add USB2 to my Mac G4 MDD. As advertised, I opened the side door of the Mac, installed the card, turned on the Mac, and it worked perfectly from the very start. Now I can enjoy my new iPod which requires USB2 to synch. Good product at a good price.
