i would be careful with the theory that the usb pci card supplies N number of completely independent USB 2.0 ports. im not sure that they don't just supply one and then a built in N port hub.
just food for thought. Dean MC wrote:
Hi I am shopping for a USB2 PCI card to support 4 or more USB hard drives. I thought to get a PCI card rather than an external USB2 hub, which splits the USB2 bandwidth. Looking through the supported hardware of freebsd6.x there's a big list of supported devices, but none that match hardware vendor websites offhand. I see for example the ALi 6+2 port USB 2.0 PCI Card with the ALi M573 chipset and VIA VT6212 4+1 Port USB 2.0 PCI Controller Card with the VIA VT6212 chipset. But these don't match anything on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-i386.html What are the best [most compatible trouble free] USB PCI cards? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
