Adaptec DuoConnect AUA-3020 PCI Card - FireWire/USB Combo Card AUA3020, 4- Port 2.0 USB, 2-Port FireWire 400
At 400 megabits per second, the FireWire/1394/i.LINK standard is ideal for multimedia input devices such as digital video (DV) camcorders, and high-speed storage devices, scanners and CD-RW drives. In fact, you can "daisy-chain" up to 62 peripherals from the two external FireWire ports on your DuoConnect card. USB 2.0 combines high-speed performance with the plug-and-play simplicity that has made USB peripherals so popular. USB 2.0 products, including external hard drives, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs and scanners, can run at up to 480 Mbps. That's 40 times faster than USB 1.1 peripherals! DuoConnect's three external ports provide maximum compatibility and connectivity to the newest USB 2.0 devices as well as USB 1.1 devices.
