Works Great

VANTEC 3-Port FireWire 400 PCIe Host Card Model UGT-FW200

Pros: Works perfectly for my needs

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: I bought this to put into a new PC that lacked firewire ports. Its purpose is to run a Presonus Firestudio Project for audio recording, which from what I've read can be picky regarding which interfaces it will work with. Thankfully, this card installed easily and my audio interface has worked beautifully since. FYI, I did not need to plug the card into my power supply.

Powerful PC

Pros: Powerful General-Purpose PC Good Bang for your Buck

Cons: Wish the included WiFi card picked up 5G networks

Overall Review: I bought this PC to replace an aging laptop that started overheating too regularly. Its main purpose is audio production via Sonar Platinum, and at that, it excels. In fact, aside from high-end gaming, there's not much this rig couldn't easily handle. For my specific needs, I added a Vantec UGT-FW200 Firewire card and a Transcend TS256GSSD370S SSD drive to run the OS, using the included 1TB drive for data. It is blazingly fast and I couldn't be happier.
