Review By Tigerdirect

USB 1.1 was great, but USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port.

IOGEAR brings you new Five Port USB 2.0 PCI Card (GIC251U). USB 2.0 will move data at a blazing rate of 480 Mbps (Megabits per second), and is fully backward compatible with the first generation of USB devices.
With the increase in speed, USB 2.0 will offer enhanced functionality, allowing more devices to share the increased bandwidth. The new USB 2.0 PCI card will allow you to take full advantage of the USB 2.0 technology on your current USB 1.1 systems. Don’t get left in the dust with out-of-date technology, take advantage of the scalability that USB 2.0 products provide.
