Gets the job done in transferring data between an old Mac and a new Mac - pasadenagirl81, Nov 13, 2009

I bought this cable to use with the Migration Assistant in my new 17-inch 2.66GHZ MacBook Pro. I needed to transfer data from my older Mac, a 2002 Powerbook G4. I tried transferring my files by plugging both Macs to my Airport Extreme Base Station; unfortunately, this method of transfer proved ultimately to be too slow.

So, I got this cable, plugged the end for Firewire 400 into my Powerbook, and the other end for Firewire 800 into my Macbook - presto! All of the data I wanted to transfer was successfully done so using Firewire Target Disk Mode (Note: if you are unable to restart in Target Disk Mode by holding down the "T" key, go into System Preferences --> Startup Disk).

Overall the transfer took less than half an hour. I am very pleased at how this cable made the transfer process both technologically efficient AND inexpensive.

Does the job - Christopher Palmore, Oct 23, 2009

I originally bought a 6 pin to 9 pin cable from the Apple store. They charge $29.99 plus tax. I then went home and ordered this cable. Just as good for close to one third the price.

6' computer cable - Lance Collins, Oct 14, 2009

I purchased a 6' computer cable with a 6-pin firewire on one end and 9-pin firewire on the other. The cable worked well, at a good price.
