Will this expansion card be good?

I'm planning on getting a Creative Nomad Zen NX for christmas which has USB2 for high speed transfers

So basically I don't wish to wait hours to transfer my 30GB of MP3s

so I was planning on getting a USB2 PCI card.

I saw this:

Which is a card with 2 ports, plus a thing for the drive bay with 3 ports!! All for like £12... So my question is, will it be a wise purchase? Will it work alright?

Hasn't your motherboard got usb2 compatable ports anyway?

No.

Ahh right, just that most mainboards made recently have got em.

Yeah that expansion card should do the job just fine, but for the quickest transfers a firewire compatable jukebox might be a better idea.

I don't have a firewire port

and USB2 is 80Mbits faster
