The SIIG JU-P50212-S5 is a PC and Mac compatible PCI USB 2.0 card with four external and one internal port. The internal port is either a standard port or a four pin header (you can’t use both at once). There is also a four pin power connector to help provide power through the bus for those devices that don’t have a separate power cord. Supported by Pentium class PCs running Win98SE or later or Blue and White G3 or later Macs running OS 8.6 or later for USB 1.1 support or OS 10.1.3 or later for USB 2.0 support.

- Pros: Works very well with my 400 mhz (Sawtooth) PowerMac G4. It manages to power 2 flash drives and a media reader at once - just from the PCI bus power! I have not noticed any sleep issues inherent with some PCI cards.
- Cons: According to System Profiler (Mac OS 10.4.8), it does not support power savings mode - deep sleep. Even so, I have not encountered any issues with my configuration. For extra power, it can use an optional small 4-pin power cable - that is, the standard used on floppy drives. Unfortunately, the G4 only has the 4-pin IDE power plugs.
My only problem with the card ITSELF is that although it seats and fuctions properly, the screw that fastens the card down does not line up perfectly with the G4's case (by a little under 1 mm), and the screw won't screw all the way in. The other annoyances are fairly mac-specific, but this is very odd.
- Other Thoughts: I've given it a 4 star, as it does what it's designed for, and the misaligned screw may very well be a defective card rather than model. Since it was a gift, I'm not sure what retailer it came from, and unable to exchange.
I bring up the sleep issue, as it seems that many USB 2 cards have issues with a PowerMac's sleep, due to the way the PCI cards power up, and USB configuration. I've never had any issue with this card. YMMV.
Does what it should
- Pros: Does exactly what it should, without any drama. The USB header on the card means I can attach front panel USB devices to this card instead of to my broken motherboard USB.
- Cons: None I can think of.
- Other Thoughts: I got this to give me USB 2 support since I have an nForce4 SLI board that has a problem with USB 2 on the mobo. Setting the mobo to USB 1.1 and using this card for all of my high speed peripherals has solved my problems. Highly recommended.

Not the cheapest, just the best
- Pros: I needed to get USB 2.0 on an old Dell Dimension for a customer who recently purchased an HP multifunction. The HP was super slow and constantly popping up USB warnings. I picked the SIIG because of past experience with their product line. The card installed with no problems and I was out in less than 1/2 hour, printer working and customer happy.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: I can't be bothered with trying to save a few dollars by purchasing parts that may or may not work. I've never had a problem with a SIIG product.
Works Great
- Pros: I installed this card in a seven-year-old PC and it works great. In Windows XP SP2 the drivers installed automatically. The card works fine in Linux as well.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: I'm glad I bought it!
Works on PE 2600 w\ SBS 2003
- Pros: Installed on a Dell PowerEdge 2600 running Small Business Server 2003 without additional driver. Great throughput when compared to the USB 1.0 ports the server shipped with.
- Cons: My shipment did not include an auxillary power cable which would have been handy. (The documentation could elaborate on when the aux. cable is actually required -- I suspect it's not really a requirement when using four self-powered removable drives.)
- Other Thoughts: SIIG products seem to either work like a charm out of the box or not at all. Sadly I've returned as many as I've kept.
