REVIEW BY: Little Dra Reviewed  Sep 09, 2008
This is a great device to add extra USB ports to older systems. It adds 4 new 2.0 USB ports to any 3.5 (floppy) drive bay. It's backwards compatible with the older 1.1 USB products so, it'll work with most any USB product today. It uses the same power cable as a standard floppy drive unit for power, and it uses an ''internal'' USB port on your motherboard or a PCI/USB card for the data connection. So, be sure you have an available internal USB port inside your PC.

What You Should Know
What Are BUS POWERED USB Devices?
USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a standard interface port, and to improve the plug-and-play features of PCs by allowing these devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer! Another convenient feature includes providing power (also known as Bus Power) to low-consumption devices without the need for an external power supply. So Bus Powered means the device is powered by the USB Port, and not an external power adaptor.

Bus Powered devices offer a lot of flexibility, particularly when used on laptops and other portable devices. However, you need to determine when “bus power” is best.

When is Bus Power best?
  • You have a desktop with ample USB ports, or

  • You have a laptop and you need to take your Bus Powered devices with you, or

  • You only use the device intermittently and want the simplicity of no external power adaptors, or

  • You want to keep desktop clutter to a minimum, and want to eliminate power cables.

The best example of a USB Bus Power devices are:  USB Thumb Drives, or Passport style USB Hard Drives.

Rules for best results with Bus Powered Devices:

  • Use a good quality USB Cable two feet or less in length.

  • Be sure to directly connect the device to your computer, instead of through a hub or other device - unless the USB Hub has its own power.

  • Make sure your laptop battery is fully charged.

Generally speaking, you do not want many Bus Power devices connected at once, especially on portable devices or laptops running on batteries. So consider unplugging unneeded devices if necessary.

Some devices can be powered both by an external adaptor or by Bus Power. As a general rule, you should use the external adaptor to power the device, except when you need to use it and external power is not available. However, higher-consumption devices, such as external optical media burners, and large hard drives, may work best with external power.
