USB2 card for Poweredge 600 server

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a poweredge 600 server with 3.3 volt PCI slots that I really could do
with getting a PCI USB2 card for to support my external hard drive for
backup purposes. Currently a backup takes around 8 hours at USB 1 speed. The
only USB2 cards I have tried seem to be 5 volt as the server fails to boot
with them installed

Does anyone know of a particular model of USB2 card compatible with this
server

Thanks

Paul

I have been having luck with the Adaptec AUA-3100 and AUA-3100LP with 3 USB
2.0 ports in Windows Server 2003 and Enterprise Server 2003. I believe it
should
work in SBS2003 also.

I am currently running an Iomega REV USB 2.0 drive. It is awsome so far,
using
NTBACKUP to backup the entire system. It is a new server and it is backing
up
2.2 GB in 8 minutes.
