## Description

Low Profile PCIe 1394b/1394a (2B1A) Card, TI Chipset, Extra Regular Bracket. 1-Lane (x1) PCI-Express with transfer rate 2.5Gbps Full Duplex channel .

Review: This is a fantastic IEEE 1394/FireWire Card for any system with an open PCI-E slot. - In summary: reasonably priced, very compact, easy installation, performs very well. I initially got this card because I was having some issues with USB 3.0 drivers on a nice external drive I was using. The external drive has FireWire, eSata, and usb 3.0, and the build quality is so high (and I value the ability to swap in my own hard drives) that I decided to blow ~$20 on a FireWire card rather than deal with a return or finding a new one. I've been very pleased thus far. Pros: 1) It's low profile, for small form factor cases, but comes with adapter bracket for standard PCI-E slots. Even if you have to swap the bracket, installation is a breeze. It'll fit in any PCI-E slot. 2) It has an internal FireWire 400 header, which was perfect to be able to take advantage of the front panel FireWire 400 port on my case. 3) It uses the top-tier TI chipset. 4) Native driver support in my OS's of choice (Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 and Windows7). 5) Speeds are right where you expect. I consistently see 80-90 MB/s over FireWire 800 in large file transfers on both Ubuntu and Win7. Cons: The driver instructions are a bit confusing. If you're running windows7 or linux (I've tried it with Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04) ignore the driver disc that comes with this. Ubuntu has built-in drivers, windows7 will automatically install/activate its FireWire drivers after you physically install the card and connect a device.
Review: Works perfectly but don't install drivers from the included CD! - I purchased this FireWire board with the intent of video capture and attaching some older firewire devices to my new gaming computer. I'm running the ASUS Rampage IV, Intel i7 3960X and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with a number of additional graphical/hardware components etc. When I picked up my newly built computer the first thing I did was install the FireWire card and boot the system. The next thing I did was install the drivers with the included CD. Unfortunately upon re-booting my system I was met with a blue screen of death. After investigating the crash dump and researching this on the internet I came to the conclusion the drivers were preventing the system from successfully booting and could not be fully wiped from the page file or system registry. Unfortunately even using a system restore point failed to prevent the blue screen from re-appearing. I even attempted removing the hardware from the motherboard and doing a partial system restore that again would lead to a blue screen after a shutdown and re-start. I had to subsequently wipe the HD and do a fresh windows install (thank goodness it was a new build with nothing installed). After re-installing windows and installing all the windows updates as well as all the associated Asus/Nvidia/Intel and LG drivers, I cautiously pushed the FireWire chipset back into the PCIe slot and booted windows. Presto, the hardware was found and windows loaded all the necessary drivers. I tested the connection speed and was able to get the near full advertised 800mbps. The conclusion? The drivers that come loaded on the included CD have the option of replacing the windows drivers and seem to cause system failures and instability. These drivers seem unnecessary as the built in windows drivers work perfectly. So don't install anything from the included CD, just make sure windows is up to date, install the hardware and let windows automatically install the correct drivers. I've been using the FireWire chipset now for 3 weeks capturing XMF/HDV/DV files from various professional (Sony PDW-700 / Canon XH-A1) and consumer grade cameras with no issues at all. Good product, just stay away from the included CD.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this card work with Windows 10 Pro x64?**
A: It does on my Dell XPS

**Q: Which one (this one or sy-pex30016) will be better for my focusrite saffire pro 40 audio interface with zero latency and no glitch in the sound?**
A: From my experience, I am running 24 channels back and forth using the Presonus Studio Live mixer, into an old Dell Server (poweredge 1900) with 8 gigs of ram and a quad core processor.  Running Win 7 and never had a single hiccup.

**Q: will it work with the presonus studio live 24?**
A: Yes, I am on win 7 and the SL 24.4.2AI works great with capture and studio one thru this card.

**Q: I am connecting an iLink 4 pin to card. I need an adapter to convert to 6 pin to this card. Im confused on want the connectors are?**
A: Your iLink device probably has a 4 pin connector. The Syba Low Profile PCI-Express card has 1 6 pin and 2 9 pin connectors. You will need an IEEE-1394/firewire cable with a 4 pin connector on one end to connect to your device, and either a 6 pin or 9 pin connector on the other end to connect to the card.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needed this for an old video camera, works great.
*by J***L on January 24, 2024*

Not much supports Firewire any more, and I have a couple of older DV cameras I wanted to get the video transferred to my newer Mac. There are all kinds of solutions out there, but using a real Firewire card in an OWC PCI Express card to Thunderbolt box proved to be the best and fastest I could find. 5 minutes to install and I was in business. Everything I plug into the card is instantly recognized. One thing I like about this card verses some of the others, is that I do not need to plug the card into a PC internal power supply. Not an option for me, so this works great. My solution is not for everyone, but if you fall into this cateogory, this is the card for you.
