Card has worked flawlessly - Francis Guare, Nov 20, 2009

I needed a firewire port on my computer for an external storage device and camcorder. My files were going to be very large so I needed speed for transfer. This card fit the bill and worked out great. Easy installation and Windows recognized it no problem. I was up and running in no time. Would definitely buy again!!

Seems to work fine - spaceboy, Jan 24, 2009

I've had this for about a year now. I don't recall having any problems with it except that plugging in the firewire cable was a little tight. Seems like it might be because the verticle jacks are almost flush with the slot openings in the case. It still went in though, and does the job. Probably a slight alignment of the card in the slot would fix it. Included cable makes it worth the higher price.

Product has EIGHT ports, not six - M. Greenfield, Jan 22, 2009

However, I went by the picture and got what I thought I'd be getting. The product actually has a total of 8 ports: 4 external/1 internal USB 2.0 and 2 external/1 internal 6-pin firewire. The computer I bought this for has a mATX motherboard with only four expansion card slots, 6 USB 2.0 ports and no firewire, so by using the internal USB port for the 8 gb memory stick I use for Vista pre-fetch, this card effectively doubled my external USB connectivity, added Firewire and kept the other slots free for an e-sata raid, blackmagic intensity card and graphics card. Not a bad deal when you factor in the cable and free 2nd day shipping with Amazon Prime.

On a negative side, the card did have a noticeable ding on one side when it arrived, with a matching dent in the anti-static wrap indicating that it happened sometime after assembly. However, it powered up without a problem and on testing all of the ports seemed to function properly, as did the supplied 6-4 pin Firewire cable.

Overkill & Underfit - MEJ, Nov 30, 2008

All the ports seem to work OK, but when the 2006 Dell E310 Dimension case is reassembled, the way the usb ports are aligned perpendicular instead of parallel to the bracket prevents their use. For my needs maybe 2 USB and 1 FW port might have been enough, if they were in the proper bracket oreintation, and I use a powered USB hub. I didn't return it however.
