Pros & Cons
Pros
Works perfectly. A total no-brainer. No muss, no fuss.
Older tech but useful for transferring movies from minidv camcorder. Installed on the only pci slot on gigabyte ga-z97x gaming 7 motherboard.
Dell optiplex 7010 i7-3770 with 16g of ram running cakewalk. Perfect for adding firewire to an i5 computer to use with a flex 5000a. The tech support of this company is unheard of.
I am so excited that this was so easy and seamless. Studiolive digital audio mixer in my old obsolete dell optiplex gx620 pci express slot. Flawless install and perfomance with a daw running tc electronic software.
Cons
Fireboard adapter does not have an additional power connector. It is not a * chipset, it is via. Not stable with my motu firewire interface, occasionally crashing the asio console.

The tech support of this company is unheard of.
It's quite fussy about firewire chipsets and, according to presonus, won't ever work on windows 10.
Price
Competitive value, was as advertised with all pieces included, and delivery date was within a decent amount of time.
Great value, easy to install, and great solution for me!
It is a bit pricey but it is completely worth it.
Shipping
Fast shipping - installed fine worked on first try.
Plus, sent me a prepaid shipping label to return the defective card.
Competitiveness
I have an older back-up computer running win7 and a lot of video conversion software.
I also have the complete "nero" suite on that computer, including nero vision (includes firewire capture).
This is one of two cards that is recommended by focusrite.
Thought that for the price i would try the "gold standard" in fw cards for audio, the star tech with its texas instruments chipset.

Let me begin this review by saying that before you purchase the star tech 4 port pci 1394a firewire adapter card be sure that your computer does have pci slots
