5 of 5 Works as advertised Tuesday, July 29, 2008
A Customer from Santa Fe, NM  

PCIe only, if you have older PCI busses, get another card. Works as advertised, easy to install in a MacPro, the only con is a minor one, it does not have an additional small 4 pin firewire input like some similar cards I had before. 2 firewire 800, 1 firewire 400 (six pin)

5 of 5 The need for speed Wednesday, May 14, 2008
A Customer from Oakland Gardens NY  
A useful addition to any computer, since one can't have too many i/o ports. I'm using mine to connect to my external hard drive for backups that are almost twice as fast as usb 2.0. When you're backing up 3 or 4 hundred gigs at a time, that means something.
