Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Reasonably faster than USB2
I use it with a Drobo (gen 2, 4TB partition) on my Vista Home Premium PC, using the driver that WIndows picked for me. It didn't pick up the Drobo the 1st time I plugged it in, but after power cycling the Drobo a couple of time, the card picked it up, not sure if it's Drobo or the card since I don't have any other Firewire 800 device to try with. I'm getting about 23 MB/s write and 30 MB/s reads. These are faster than the speed I got with USB2 using the same Drobo, which are in the teens of MB/s.



Customer Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Card Sucks
This card I bought for a Mac G-5 but it does NOT work on a Mac G-5. This was a total waste of my money.



Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Does not work with Vista
When reading the minimum system requirements, be careful to review the supported operating systems. Belkin has not yet developed Windows Vista drivers for this card.



Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good compatability. Very stable.
I've tried the SIIG FireWire 800 3-Port PCIe - FireWire adapter - 3 ports and for some crazy reason I could not get the adapter to work on my system. I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield, on an ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA LGA 775 ATX Mobo, and G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 and the SIIG adapter was quite fussy-I knew the adapter was installed properly as the firewire 400 port worked just fine, but the 800 wouldn't. I was reluctant at first to try another bad adapter, but changing to this belkin was a breeze. Installation was as easy as sticking it into the PCI slot and installing the drivers and just like that I was transferring my data files from my Seagate 1TB internals to my Maxtor 1TB Onetouch externals at blazing 800 speed. It does make a difference in file transfer. So the lesson to be learned is if at first you don't succeed, change to a different brand because it could make all of the difference.
Good Luck

Sales of semiconductors in November indicate that consumer products such as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs, digital music players, and other devices sold well during the holidays, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday.

November chip sales rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to $23.1 billion, the SIA said.

Unit demand has far outpaced last year. But falling chip prices have hurt industry revenue, the chip association said. For example, DRAM (dynamic RAM) bit shipments grew 25 percent in the three months through mid-December, but average selling prices have declined 20 percent over the same period.

The association also noted that rising energy prices and concerns about the sub-prime lending issue in the U.S. do not appear to have had a significant impact on consumer spending for the holidays, the SIA said. The group reiterated its forecast that worldwide semiconductor sales will reach a new record in 2007. But it will take a stronger than expected December selling season to reach the 3.8 percent growth goal the group had forecast earlier this year, the SIA said.

Investment banking firm Credit Suisse was not as optimistic as the SIA.

The November data was below normal seasonal trends, noted analyst John Pitzer, in a report on Monday. Even if December reaches its normal seasonal growth, 2007 industry revenue will only reach $255.7 billion, up 3.2 percent over last year. The growth percentage would fall short of the SIA's 3.8 percent target.

The slow November prompted Credit Suisse to lower its 2008 chip industry revenue forecast to 9.4 percent year-on-year growth, down from a previous target of 13 percent.
