More Ports for Peripherals

Today’s notebook computers are small and powerful, but when it comes to connecting accessories, they’re limited. They have at least one or two USB ports, and some have a FireWire® port, but most don’t have enough places to plug in all your peripherals. Everybody’s got gadgets with USB or FireWire connectors—iPod® mobile digital devices, DV camcorders, digital cameras, external drives, printers, keyboards, mice, scanners, to name a few—wouldn’t it be nice to plug in more than one at a time? Pop Sonnet’s FireWire/USB ExpressCard/34 into your computer’s ExpressCard slot to instantly add the USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 ports you need!

Sonnet's FireWire/USB ExpressCard/34 features one USB 2.0 and two FireWire 400 ports, each port offering full-bandwidth data throughput, so there is no performance penalty when you add ports as you add devices.
