Review on πŸ”Œ Syba PCIe 1.1 x1 Card - 3 Port IEEE 1394 Firewire 1394B & 1394A, TI XIO2213B Chipset, Requires Legacy Driver for Windows 8 10 by Daron Ellis

STABLE CARD! My studio settings saved!

I used to have a Startech PCIe Firewire card in my computer. I hooked up an RME Fireface 800 and it randomly crashed my computer after using Cubase for about 30 minutes - most of the time when it was doing nothing. I replaced the cards with these after reading online that cards with TI chips are stable. I ran it all day on Sunday with no problems, and then as a test I looped a Cubase project by running multiple VSTi's for 4 hours in a row. I think this is the solution! And this card is very cheap! 5 STARS! Updated - several weeks passed - still stable! My setup: Windows 10 Education Lenovo Xeon Server Quad Core PCIe Firewire card (this) RME Fireface connected to one of the Firewire 800 ports on the card THANKS SYBA! Added in July 2019: - It's been a few weeks - still solid as a rock!
