User Reviews about PSP USB Data Cable
There ain't much to say, it's a cable, it's useful, if you don't have a PSP you can still use it to charge a motorola cellphone or to connect a digital camera to your computer. -- Useful cable
I have been using the Pelican USB adapter for some time now without difficulty. I have transferred files over 100 MB in size without any snags. It is, annoyingly, true that the problems described by other reviewers can (and probably will) arise if you are not familiar with USB control architecture. On this account, my impression of the adapter is decidedly mixed.
So, here's how it all REALLY works: USB 2.0 enhanced ports (standard issue these days) WILL lose a file transfer and ultimately not recognize the PSP unless you first disable the USB-PCI bridge (labeled by Windows as "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Control" in the Device Manager window). Once you've done that, the problems disappear, though you are limited to the slower USB 1.0 transfer speeds, which can be an irritant.
I am unsure as to the real source of the problem: The adapter or the PSP's USB architecture. One or the other is clearly incapable of supporting the higher data transfer speeds (think of it as a data log-jam), and judging from some of the comments I've seen, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Pelican decided to graft a power cable onto (very) old refurbished Mini-B USB adapters, which could explain this odd quirk.
The bottom line is that the adapter is NOT useless, and it works perfectly fine IF you know what you're doing...And you're willing to tinker around inside the Windows Device Manager a bit. I WOULD, however, recommend purchasing another brand if you're either turned off by the prospect of having to familiarize yourself with how your PC works or (understandably) offended by the tacit lack of quality. -- Transfer problems not strictly hardware issue, but lack of PC familiarity
