PCIe Firewire 400 Card,IEEE 1394a PCI Express 4 Ports PCIe Card (3 X 6 Pin and 1 X 4 Pin),Firewire 400 Adapter for Windows 7/8/10/11/Mac Os/Xp/2000/2003/ Vista/Dos,Linux(PCIE-IEEE 1394A)

I needed Firewire to transfer old video material from some very old video cameras. This plugged into an otherwise ordinary Windows 10 machine and it works just fine. Easily worth the very modest price.

Worked great with my windows computer running cubase14 with a older Focusrite pro14 fire wire interface. Will not work with an Apple product running Sequoia or the previous version of iOS.

PCIe device works properly, but the cable sent is junk and gets you stuck in this connect/disconnect loop. Buy a better cable if you go with this device.

The card works great in Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux. No extra driver installs needed and it immediately recognized an older miniDV video camera. However, the cable it came with didn't work right, and the camera would get stuck in a connect-disconnect cycle. Not sure if its a quality issue or a broken cable. Using an old firewire 800 cable worked great.

The name of the manufacturer is not listed anywhere on the card or the box, and there is no documentation, which tells you everything you need to know. These cards are the tech equivalent of trash-quality "fast fashion" clothing. You get what you pay for. My first card would not function - fully up to date Windows 11 detected that it was plugged in, but could not detect what it was. It just appeared as "unknown device". Forcing a legacy driver on the device, which should not have been necessary and definitely should have worked, did not work. Returned the card as defective. The replacement card was obviously a return from someone else - the box was torn, the static bag had numerous creases from re-use, and the cable was missing. I didn't feel comfortable putting this one in my PC, so I returned it as well. I drove down to my local big box computer parts store, bought a name brand card for 3x the cost, and it worked first try. Judging by other reviews, whether or not you get a functioning card is a total crapshoot. Save yourself the frustration and find a better option.

Easy installation, Windows 11 automatically recognized and installed the proper drivers.

This card works well. Windows 10 immediately recognized it and installed the driver. The problem for me started when I opened Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and it could not see the camera. Even the Sony software could not see the SONY Handycam DCR-VX2000. After a short chat with DeepSeek AI, I did a web search for the legacy driver and Startech has a support page with thorough steps for installing the driver. You have to follow the steps exactly to get the driver installed, and viola my legacy software now sees my legacy camera and I can digitize those videos I recorded. And since I have a box of tapes I can go out and record more videos and digitize them! I am indeed a happy camper. This budget solution, enabling me to install a card in my 12 year old computer makes me happy, and one month before Microsoft stops supporting Windows 10. Great solution. I recommend you purchase this card to help you connect your legacy devices to your computer.

Used to import data from al old camera (so compatible with Sony a1u / HDV format - as long as you have a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable). Worked as is should have; however I noticed a few dropped frame; some where recorded as such, other caused by the import (did not happened again on second try). I did not try to use the provided cable as other mentioned they had issues with that. I used an old one I had laying around. Because that camera uses the HDV format I could not use "WinDV", but I was able to import using the "HDVSplit" software (but if you want to see the footage on your PC while it is being imported, you have to jump thru a few hoops) -- search for this on VideoHelp.com to get more info. Imported hours successfully using that card and the software above (HDVSplit) on Windows 11.

This works with the firewire port on my canon video camera and win 11 desktop. The included cable did not work but al alternate cable did work.

Unfortunately this does not work in my PC. It is not recognised in Device Manager. Driver update did not help. I have given it 3 stars as it looks well made, and must surely work in some set-ups, but not mine.

يعمل بشكل مثالي

I bought this to transfer mini dv video tapes to my pc. It installed easily and the included cable worked perfectly.

It did not work at first. Spent far too much time troubleshooting Windows 11 drivers etc. The last thing to try before shipping it back was the cable. Fortunately, I had another cable as the one that was sent was doa. There was no obvious damage. After that, the device worked exactly as I had hoped.
