Re: Any problem on using LACIE usb PCI card with rme UC?

Hi Henry,
As long as it is a USB 2.0 only card not a combo Firewire//USB card then it will work perfect.
If you are using Windows XP you do wan to be careful with adding too many firewire ports.
Some chip sets and motherboards that have like 10 plus USB possible on board will act up when and more.
Under XP you will sometimes start getting memory address blue screen issues.

Thanks Chris

Pardon Chris, I am changing USB card brand. D-Link. I am on w7 x64.
Yes it is only for USB.

(Based on what you wrote. It should be ok)

thanks

Yep I want to keep a dedicate PCI-USB card clean and ready for the UC only.
I have a good custom PSU (enermax)
