Date: 2009-06-04 Possible faulty design Did not work. May have been a pre-existing bad firewire port on brand new MacBook Pro, but it also may have broken the firewire port on my 1 week old MBP. Inspection of the "square" end revealed insulation rib at end apparently preventing contact with contacts in MBP. Belkin product did not have this, and it worked fine on new MBP (replaced, thankfully, by my local Apple Store). Not sure if this is a defect or not, but it is different from Belkin product and there is another complaint in the blogosphere about this, I believe. Product arrived on time (actually early) and in good condition. Date: 2009-05-23 Low-cost solution for my problem I have an external hard drive (FW400/USB) that I've been using with my new iMac (FW800/USB). When connected via USB, there were problems with the hard drive and computer not communicating at certain times. This has been a pain, so I was told that using firewire would solve this issue by a Mac Genius. Needing to go from FW400 to FW800, I purchased this cable and the problem is solved. Best of all, the cable cost only about $10, cheaper than an adaptor. Date: 2009-05-22 FireWire 800 This product works very well. It does lag a little from the Fire Wire 800 port to convert to the 6pin connection. Overall works great. Date: 2009-05-21 My cat's breath smells like cat food! The terminal end works great, but the proximal plug is a little loose in a macbook pro. Being a DJ, it gets moved around a lot but it's never wiggled enough to lose signal so definitely a wise purchase compared to other bulky adapters. Date: 2009-05-01 Be Careful We bought an iMac, and it doesn't have a Firewire 400 port, just a Firewire 800 port. We have a camcorder with Firewire 400 output. So I needed an adapter. I bought this cable, and when it came I realized that while one end will fit into the Firewire 800 port on the computer, the other end doesn't fit into the camcorder. So, I paid for shipping both ways. Then I bought an adapter plug that goes into the back of the computer, and I use my existing camcorder Firewire cord and plug it into the adapter, and that works great. Before buying this adapter cable, make sure you wouldn't be better off with an adapter plug. * Price is subject to change. |
