With 20 years of industry-leading PC connectivity experience, Adaptec is a brand name that consumers trust, said Jeff Loebbaka, vice president and general manager of Adaptec’s Desktop Solutions Group. Adaptec is excited to lead the USB 2.0 market and speed the adoption of this next-generation connectivity standard. We have the brand strength, engineering expertise, infrastructure and global technical support to deliver reliable, high-performance USB 2.0 solutions.
At a maximum speed of 480 Mbps, USB 2.0 technology is forty times faster than USB 1.1 and also maintains forward and backward compatibility with USB 1.1. That means that consumers save time and money by purchasing Adaptec’s USB 2.0 card today for use with current USB 1.1 peripherals, such as digital cameras, and avoid having to purchase an upgrade for the new, high-speed USB 2.0 products that are arriving on the market.
Adaptec’s USB 2.0 HBA is the safe choice for consumers because it powers the connectivity needs of today and tomorrow, said Pamela Schure, product marketing manager for of Adaptec’s Desktop Solutions Group. Consumers get long-lasting value when they purchase Adaptec’s USB 2.0 HBA because it works with slower speed USB 1.1 peripherals, like keyboards and digital cameras, and also supports the newer high-speed USB 2.0 peripherals, such as high-speed scanners and storage devices, that are appearing every day.
USB2connect makes it easy for consumers to connect USB peripherals to their computers. From the thousands of currently available USB 1.1 devices to the new high-performance USB 2.0 peripherals, USB2connect is compatible with today’s most popular peripherals and tomorrow’s exciting new ones.
Adaptec’s new USB 2.0 card is powered by NEC’s leading USB 2.0 host controller technology and designed for easy use and high-performance, said Takahiro Tokuume, senior manager in NEC’s Semiconductor Solutions Engineering Division, NEC Electron Devices. Adaptec brings two decades of expertise to the development of industry-leading USB connectivity solutions. We are pleased with the robustness and design of Adaptec’s USB 2.0 card and look forward to continuing this working relationship for the future development of their new USB solutions.
