Slow....., 18 Nov 2009
By Duncan Idaho "Gadget addict" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: StarTech.com 3 + 1 Internal Port PCI Express FireWire Card (Personal Computers)
Using this with a 2009 MacPro "Nehalem" 2.66 GHz with 8GB RAM running 10.5.8
This card is SLOW! I have no benchmarks but transfers are slower than the built in FW 400 in my 2.0 GHz Macintosh G5 and built in FW 400 in my Toshiba Satellite Laptop. I've tested it with several SATA drives in FW cases as well as PATA drives, both 3.5 and 2.5 sizes. Cases had both Oxford 911, 912 and LSI chipsets.
I'll be looking for one with an NEC chipset next. Hope that will be better. I hear Macs work better with them.

Limited Value, 31 Dec 2010
By Thomas W. Day "T.W. Day" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: StarTech.com 3 + 1 Internal Port PCI Express FireWire Card (Personal Computers)
At least on a Mac (a quad core 2.66G Mac Pro) this card has limited value. It will only address two of the 4 firewire ports at a time. All 4 ports "work," but they don't work concurrently. That makes the point of having a multiple-output device very limited. When I tried to boot my Mac with three drives connected and powered-on, the system failed to boot. If I boot with one or two drives powered up, it works inconsistently. If I boot with the drives off and power them up one at a time, making sure the OS (Leopard) identifies each drive before adding a new drive, the card will successfully load two drives and refuse to connect the 3rd drive. The 4th port is internal and, as such, useless.
Listmania!
