Great FireWire Controller for Computers!

As a new buyer, Im really pleased with this FireWire controller. Based on my experience it's an easy-to-install and affordable solution for those who need to improve their computer's performance .The 100Mbps and 200Mbps speeds are impressive, and the controller has been working flawlessly with my other computer components. The only downside is that it might not be as fast as other high-end controllers out there, but for the price, it's definitely worth it. In summary, if you need a solid and…

Pros
  • High-speed data transfer with 100Mbps and 200Mbps controller options
Cons
  • Not compatible with devices that do not have FireWire connectors

Worst FireWire controller ever

After trying this product I was extremely disappointed with its performance. It barely reached half the advertised speed and caused multiple system errors..

Pros
  • None.
Cons
  • Slow and buggy.

Avoid combo card problems with this one

Did some research to find this 1394b ONLY FireWire PCI with TI chipset. The danger lies in those ubiquitous combo cards that may not recognize B-Specs when actually used with some devices. I use this on a MOTU 828mk3 and it's perfect (where others struggle with combo cards). Works great, price is reasonable, thumbs up.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Damaged
