usb2 host adapter card

Wednesday, Mar 23. 2005  –  Category: Musings

If anyone sees a good deal for a free (after rebate) or cheap (< $10) USB2 host adapter card (PCI), please let me know. I'd like to get one for grommit so I can do quicker backups. I'm going to be installing the new 160gb drive as an internal backup drive (w00t goes out to chester, thanks!), and taking out one of the 60gb drives to use as an external backup drive. Right now I'm doing external backups via USB 1.1 ... which means leaving the colocation facility to go get dinner and some boba before coming back. It'd be nice to up the speed a bit. :)
