I bought the IOGear 5 port (4 external - 1 internal). It works great. <br><br>I had to purchse the 2.0 after a client of mine pulled a thumb drive from the back and snapped a port. Sleep is an issue. Before, we constantly putting the G4 to sleep when we were done using it. The DA tend to be a little loud and we didn't like always turning it on and off. But, now that it will not wake from sleep we are forced to shut down or leave it running. We usually just shut down at night. I don't know of any fixes for the sleep issues.
