Disappointing firewire cable for industrial use

My analysis of this product showed that it simply failed to deliver. As someone in the industrial and scientific field, I need durable and reliable cables for my equipment. Unfortunately, this cable fell short. The connection was unstable and caused my devices to malfunction. The only positive thing about this product is that it arrived quickly. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a better quality cable.

Pros
  • Quick delivery
Cons
  • Unstable connection, caused device malfunctions

Disappointment in Computer Accessories and Peripherals

This product arrived quickly and appeared intact, but it never got my FireWire products live. It seemed to fit the holes, but it just didn't connect an external hard drive to my desktop. I was very disappointed.

Pros
  • Cables and Accessories
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Can fit better

Can fit more securely. If you move your laptop, you will get an awkward shutdown error message that can lead to data loss. Fortunately, data has never been lost on the external hard drive, but be aware that Firewire doesn't support hot swapping (you can't just unplug the device, you have to eject it).

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • Wrinkled
