Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

I have my focusrite sapphire 56 working flawless through it without any pci latency issues in win7 x64. I use it with a focusrite saffire pro 24 and the interfacing was/is flawless.

Top notch startech quality as usual. And the price is very reasonable. No hassle at all. Been a year now and have had zero problems.

Received today and took about 15 minutes to install on my dell dimension 4000 series desktop. My pc has two ssds one of which is the destination drive for the imported video files which really helps to speed up the transfer process and avoid dropouts....  Read More

Card works great, not a problem, all programs recognize my camcorder. No problems connecting to my sony and panasonic cameras. I have some older hdv camcorders that interface using firewire and new computers typically do not include that port anymore....  Read More


Cons

Comparing this card and cable to belkin ones, these are obviously cheap made and the quality is unstable. As far as i can tell, this card has the older 5v spec and will only fit into a 5v pci expansion slot. Often the most economical item you can buy ...  Read More

I already had a firewire cable so i can't comment as to the quality of the one supplied, but it fits fine in the port.

I had to slightly bend the back plate outwards so that the card would align with the case screw hole when it was fully seated i...  Read More

Shipping

Got it in 2 days with prime shipping.

99$ plus shipping on their website, but amazon sells it for 19.

Competitiveness

Worked perfectly in windows 7 home (64bit) using windows photo gallery and movie maker.

I bought it a long time ago at microcenter in minnesota.

You could spend more than twice the cost of this card buying just the cable at some stores.

Consider the price if you simply buy a 1394 cable from bestbuy, it is more than 10 or even 20 dollars!

    Ive always had a hard time with firewire cards working properly in my home builds

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was a pain and it took close to 3 hours 1 hour for the video to copy to pc one hour for the conversion and close to 45 minutes for the dvd to be written

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The quality wasnt great either

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I went ahead and bought a dvd recorder to simplify this process

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The dvd recorder cut short my work and it was great because all it took was the length of the video to record on to the dvd

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Problem was dvd recorder stopped working after a month or so
