This cable works well but has a tendency to slip out of the Macbook Pro Firewire 800 ports if wiggled too much. I use mine as an external music drive when I hang up. To avoid this situation, I always put something on the cord next to the computer port so it doesn't accidentally fall out and ruin my night. The Seagate cable with the metal end that originally came with my external hard drive. , had no such problems on my Macbook.
