Thread: Internal USB port

  1. #1

    Internal USB port

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a PCI-express card that worked for the mac which has an internal USB port for putting a dongle inside. I have been searching online and all of the ones I have found thus far don't say they work or don't work with mac.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Sonnet Allegro Express USB 2.0 PCI Express
    Part No USB2-E

    4 External Ports, 1 Internal

    This is the only one i've found on the market that is available and works with intel MacPro and is PCI Express... about £33 GBP

    Contact me if you have trouble sourcing them

    Simon you were one step ahead of me. This is the same one I use. It's very smart to have a PCI USB card considering the USB hub issue with Macs.

    It's not an issue, it's just that MACs don't play nice with USB hubs. Sometimes devices won't connect the way they are supposed to.
