bulky, but what do you expect? - N. Orticelle, Jan 06, 2008

it's an adapter, it does what it's needed, and it does it without a problem. It definitely is bulky, and when put on top of a fairly bulky 6 pin, it's a good 3 inches long before the it hits the cord. Keep that in mind if you don't want things sticking out too far. However, if you can figure out a way how to not make it bulky...let me know. Therefore, 5 stars for another adapter.

works as advertised - B. Sanghvi, Dec 07, 2007

works as advertised. I am using it to connect a WD 500GB External HD to my laptop.

I don't understand why they invented different sized adapters for firewire. I wish the first adapter developed should have been it.

It does the job... - Lady Laarni Domingo, Oct 17, 2007

I bought this to link my Sony MiniDV Camcorder to my macintosh computer because it couldn't run with the USB cord that was given. Let's just say that you have to purchase the "ilink" of sony so that you can transfer video to mac. Hmm so I thought to myself why buy an expensive cord, when you can just get this and your pair of firewire cables to do exactly the same thing. Overall its very handy

Data transfer works perfectly - Live to read, Mar 23, 2007

I bought this product because my notebook has only two USB ports and one 4-pin Firewire port. I wanted to charge my iPod without using a USB port and only have a 6-pin Firwire to iPod cable.

The good news is that I can play my music just fine. For data transfer purposes, this product performs just as I expected!

However, do not purchase this product for the purpose of powering a device. The 4-pin port (at least on my computer) does not provide power, only data. Since this is no fault of the adaptor, I still rate it at five stars.

Not bad... but not as nice as I wanted... But I got a refund so no worry.
