4 out of 5 eggsCard very thin otherwise good!

Pros: Power connector, PCIE, 2 ports. Inexpensive.

Cons: Seems like a thinner pcb card than other ones I have used in the past. This card stays in the slot but barely. If not for the bracket screw it might fall out of the slot completely I fear. There are little contactor springs in the PCIE slot that do look like they make complete contact (I looked very closely to confirm this) but the card is somewhat loose nonetheless. Why have they done this? Other than that the card installed perfectly 1st try and windows 7 64 bit downloaded the driver and installed it right away.

5 out of 5 eggsCHECK YOUR NEEDS

Pros: It does what it is supposed to do.

Cons: You have to make sure the internal plug matches the cable that you case has. In my case, the Corsair case had a 1394 female plug. It needs a 1394 header on the card. THIS card has a firewire port on the card (internal). I guess I took it for granted that the internal firewaire was a header, not a port. So rather than returning and ordering something else, I found a 12" adapter cord from a different website. Expensive. I should have just returned and exchanged for a card with a header instead. But I like Rosewill, so, oh well.

Other Thoughts: When trying to decide on which card to get, you have to look real close at the photos, because the descriptions don't always make it clear if the internal is a port or a header.

Core 2 Quad 6600 running XP Pro and also in an
Intel I7 3770 build running Windows 8.
Runs cool and size is small. It's a good value

Pros: Does the job, didn't have to install any drivers. Dedicated power connector is a nice touch

Cons: The internal port seems a bit fatuous, an internal header in its place would be more useful in most applications.

5 out of 5 eggsIdeal product

Pros: I installed the card in 5 min. after I opened the side panel of the computer. Upon powering the computer, Windows 7 immediately found the card and installed its driver. I have used one port to backup an external drive that I purchased years ago and that has only a Firewire port - for this I used a 6/6 pins' cable that I had had. The 2nd port Has been used to copy camcorder's tapes with an 6/4 cable that had come with the card. I have already copied about 50 hrs of tapes with no slightest problem.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: A word of caution. I first purchased a PCI card( VANTEC 4-Port FireWire 400 PCI Host Card Model UGT-FW050) that is 50% cheaper and that, according to the reviews, is quite good for the job. I did not know that it has a completely different connector and that my new Dell computer has 3 PCI-E slots but none for PCI. Therefore, I sent that card back. So please know what you are buying - if your computer has a proper slot. The customer service of Newegg is excellent.

I have no idea who may need an internal port in the card, especially taking into the account that it cannot work simultaneously with one of the external ports.

5 out of 5 eggsCorrection to Earlier Post

Pros: Works great with my Sony Video Camera

Cons: Does not have 2x5 Male Connector internally

Other Thoughts: As a Correction to my earlier post I bought the wrong adapter. I should have bought the CPX509. The one I bought earlier (CPX506) had a FEMALE 2x5 and that doesn't work at all. Hard to connect a female connector to another female connector! The CPX509 has a 2x5 Male connector that connects with the Corsair 650D front panel 1394 connector.

4 out of 5 eggsRosewill PCIe RC504

Pros: I have a lot of DV camcorder tapes from all over the world that I want to move from their original format, shot on a very old Sony DCR-TRV310, to my computer for editing, compilation, and archive (I do not expect the camera to live forever). With a few minor installation issues described below this card works well for that job and performs all the functions the FireWire 1394 interface and my capture software to the camera allows such as play, stop, fast forward, rewind, and copy DV video content (including audio) to my computer.

The transferred video has the same quality as on the camera.

Although the included user’s guide only mentions support for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista my Windows 7 64 Bit OS recognized the device and installed the appropriate Windows 64 bit 1394-device driver.

Pros:
1. Reasonable Price
2. Works as described
3. Includes a 4 pin cable that fits the Sony Camcorder

Cons: The biggest con with this card is that has a very thin PCB. Minus one egg for that. When I installed it in my ASUS Sabertooth X-79 motherboard, the card did not give me the usual 'snap' into the connector and seemed somewhat 'lose'. Since this was the first card that I have installed in the motherboard PCI-e slot, I tried the other slot on the board with the same effect. After installing the card, the computer would not complete the boot post sequence. I had to reseat the card, and while carefully holding the card in what I believed to be the best position, tighten the bracket into place. This worked, the computer booted, and the OS recognized the card and installed the driver. If I ever have the same problem with booting I will have to remember to recheck the card seating.

A second issue I have with this card is that although the description includes an ‘internal’ connection, the ‘internal’ connection is a 1394A connector not the 2x5 Female connector I expected.

Other Thoughts: My Corsair Obsidian Series 650D case has a front panel 1394a connector but the front panel connector uses a Male 2x5 plug for connecting to a motherboard header. My ASUS Sabertooth MB has a 1394a rear panel connector but no motherboard header. The intent was to connect the front panel 2x5 Plug to the expected 2x5 connector on the FireWire card. I am not deducting an egg for this because I should have read he details more carefully and looked more closely at the picture of the card on the Newegg site.

The solution is I have ordered a CPX506 IEEE 1394 2.5' - 6 pin M to 2x5 F cable (not sold by Newegg unfortunately) that I will use to connect the case’s front panel connection to the internal 1394a connection on the card. I could just use this cable to connect in a pass-through manner to the ASUS MB rear 1394a connector but I dislike the esthetics of that approach and I already have the card installed and working now.

If I knew this I would have just bought the cable not the card.
