I've been really happy with this 5-port IOGear card from OWC:

They're listing it at $18 right now.  It should make syncing with MP3
players or downloading pictures from your camera faster, too.
But I've never used the sleep feature on any of my computers; they're
either on or off.  So, I don't know if this card affects my Mac's
ability to sleep.
