SYBA PCI 64-bit Firewire 1394b Controller Card Model SD-FWB-64B

Pros: Fast speed, both 1394a and 1394b ports, 64 bit PCI-X bus

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: @saboken: You have misrepresented this card, and yourself, by claiming your Tech Knowledge as "High". This card is indeed a PCI-X card. It is not PCI. Spend some time to learn about the different computer bus types. I'm guessing you are confusing PCI-X with PCI Express - two different bus types with similar names. And reconsider your "Tech Knowledge", I think 2 or 3 stars is appropriate there for you.

Pros: works great

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: The last reviewer said they istalled it in a PCIx slot thisis imposable PCI and PCIx are not compatable! if you are looking for a PCIx card this is not it!

Pros: Works like a charm in a PCI-X slot (Asus P6T WS Pro mobo) for at least 1 FireWire 800 connection, powering up an external SSD and clocking around 80MByte/sec solidly on Windows 7 64 (with large files). Operation was plug-and-play, no setup hassles, Win 7 64 recognized the device and installed drivers automatically.

Cons: Mechanical setup of back-facing connectors somewhat cheap. If all connectors opearate at the same time, PCI-64 at 33 MHz (what the card supports) will likely be swamped, but this latter point is, in my case, academic. (Probably can operate any two reasonably well, much will depend on the driver, not tested)

Other Thoughts: Will buy another
