Having found out that all current Firewire800 PCI cards available do not support deep sleep (i.e. fans will continue to run), I had been a bit worried that this might be true of USB 2 cards as well. Well, I decided to take a chance on one and just thought some might like to know that as far as I can tell there are no deep sleep issues with the Lacie 5-port USB 2 card I purchased. I just plugged it in and it works (OS X 10.3.6). Having said that, all I have hooked up to it currently is a USB (1.1) bluetooth module (first generation D-Link). I'm going to be getting a USB 2 flatbed scanner in the near future which is the main purpose for this card. Anyway, the computer still sleeps deeply when it is suppose to, and the bluetooth module works fine after waking from sleep.
Now my question. I remember reading something about USB 2 being affected by USB 1.1 things plugged in to it. If I have a USB 1.1 device plugged into a port on the card (for example the bluetooth module) does that slow all the ports down to USB 1.1 speed, or will the other ports be at full USB 2 speed? I.e. should I only plug USB 2 devices into the card?
