The Rosewill RC-103 is a PCI card that adds USB 2.0 connectivity to older computers lacking sufficient USB ports. It provides four external and one internal USB 2.0 ports, making it ideal for users who need to connect multiple USB devices without upgrading their motherboard. The card is designed for desktop PCs with available PCI slots and supports a wide range of Windows operating systems, including older versions like Windows 98 and newer ones like Windows 10.
The card supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, which is standard for USB 2.0. This makes it suitable for transferring files, connecting peripherals like printers or scanners, and using external storage devices. The internal port can be used to connect front panel USB headers or other internal devices, offering flexibility in system configuration. The card is compatible with OHCI 1.0, USB 2.0, and EHCI standards, ensuring reliable performance across different systems.
Installation is straightforward as the card supports Plug-n-Play functionality. Users simply need to insert the card into an available PCI slot and install the necessary drivers if required. The card does not require any special tools or complicated setup procedures, making it user-friendly for both casual and technical users. It is particularly useful for older systems that lack modern USB ports or have limited expansion options.
The Rosewill RC-103 is a cost-effective solution for expanding USB connectivity on legacy systems. However, it may not support newer features like USB 3.0 or higher data transfer speeds, which are available on more recent motherboards. It is best suited for users who primarily need USB 2.0 functionality and do not require the latest USB standards.
