SIIG 2-Port Firewire 400 Cardbus Express Card (NN-EC2012-S2)

I think it's serves it's purpose well. Although, the focusrite saffire pro 14 audio interface I hooked up may still not be compatible. I have communication but no sound out of my DAW, FLStudio. May have to switch to a usb unit? The adapter is pretty much plug and play, easy.

A great firewire card for audio use. I'm using it with an M-Audio firewire 410 which are known for being glitchy with some firewire interfaces. This one has the TI chipset and works perfectly. I was so impressed with it that I also bought the pci-e version for my desktop PC.

Gave it a three as i couldnt give it a true rating as i was unable to get the usb to express card to work properly. If i get it going i will update this rating. But if it performs anything like the converter don't waste your time.

Works like a champ. The advertisement could be a little clearer on the need for an power adapter. This could save having to make two orders instead of one to have a useable express card.

Firewire is being phased out, but my new mixer (Mackie Onyx 820i) came with firewire. This little card (and a laptop with an Express Card slot) and now I have a recording studio at home. No problems, seems quiet, trouble free. Quite simple, really. I might get a second as a back-up, as this is a critical link in my home studio.

Works great on my Windows 7 x64 machine and Focusrite Saffire interface which came out back in the XP days. The Texus Instrument chipset is one of the best out there

i use it with projectmix i/o and reaper. works great for recording with firewire, has TI chipset that many interfaces require

Purchased.for use with Pro Tools. Perfect!!!! Easy install, rock solid. This model uses Texas Instruments chip. Overall couldn't be happier.
