"6PT???????"
Why does this item state "6PT" yet the picture only shows 4+1 ports? Am I missing something here?

"DOA"
After a couple of E-mail exchanges with manufacturer's tech support, card was determined to be defective. Replaced by retailer with 5 port version (which was in stock). Card continues to work fine.

"Good deal"
The first one I ordered worked for about four days and then stopped recognizing the USB devices I was plugging into it. Although I had considered just getting a refund, Amazon was quick to replace the card with no hassles. The replacement card has been working fine for a couple of months now. The USB 2 is much faster than the original USB ports that were a part of my original computer and this particular card was a reasonable price.

"One word, disappointment."
I didn't give it a one because it started out ok. I have a Compaq, Presario with the integrated Intel 817 video chipset. I purchased the Ali 6pt USB 2 PCI to USB card to use with an external 200Gb USB hard drive. I inserted the card into an open slot and everything went pretty smooth install-wise. The card worked wonderfully with the hard-drive. Then I bought a 30Gb iPod. This is where my previously considered 4-star card went south. I plugged it into the card and everything froze. I tried every conceived configuration, but to no avail. Then I also learned my Odessa 12" pressure pad, my Compaq USB keyboard, or even a USB Logitech mouse won't even work with it. The rule of thumb is your USB devices will work as fast as the slowest link in the chain, but it should work. The iPod works if I plug it into one of my integrated onboard USB 1.1 slots (albeit sans the transfer speed of USB 2). Frustrated, I did some research and found the chipset the Ali card uses to be incompatible with many USB devices. What's the point of that? Lesson learned. If you're going to buy an inexpensive PCI-USB card and want to take the chance it will work for you then go ahead, but the NEC chipset is the way to go for across-the-board compatibility. I hope this helps someone.

"cheap, works great"
plug and play installation on winxp. the fifth port is kind of useless because it's on the inside, but it's still cheaper than most of the four port pci cards. nice product.
