4-Ports PCIE 1394A Firewire 400 Card for Windows OS and MAC OS PCs, TI TSB43AB23, 3X 6Pin and 1X 4Pin 1394A Interface, with 4Pin to 6Pin 1394A Cables and Low Profile Bracket (PCIE-TSB43AB23)

The LinksTek firewire card was incredibly easy to install, even for those who are technically challenged (me).It took about 5 minutes and one screwdriver to add the card to my HP desktop. I wanted to convert old mini-DV tapes to MP4 files using Pinnacle Studio 25 and it's import function. I just plugged the firewire cable into the card and camera and it worked instantly! I was able to control the camera functions (stop, ff, play & reverse) and the picture quality was better than expected. For under $20 you just can't go wrong!

Works in a new build 2024 using MSI Z790 A Pro Max WiFi board, Windows 11 and my Liquid Saffire 56 FireWire audio device. Needed to disable Core Security in Windows for it to recognize card and install driver's. I installed Mix Control 3.7 and powered on Saffire. Would not recognize initially but did after reboot. Works fine at the moment.

I didn't have high hopes, and when I plugged it in and the computer didn't recognize it that didn't help. I tried everthing the internet had to suggest and nothing worked, so as a last ditch effort I switched it to one of the other pcie slots (one of the longer ones) and it immediately worked flawlessly. Very happy with this!

Card was nicely packed, looked well made. Installed and was recognized by the computer and Windows without an issue. So why not 5 stars? The card worked for 2 hours and then quit working. I could not get it to work, removed, reinstalled, power on reset, nothing. Showed in device manager, but would not see the Camcorder that it had just used well, for over an hour.Was getting ready to remove and return it, but decided to wait till morning. Next day the card worked and is continuing to work. Hopefully it lasts, but I am still a little nervous that it will quit again. So in a month, after moving a bunch of videos onto my computer, I'll update and either reduce or increase the star rating.The good was I did not have to load any drivers. It worked, initially, right out of the box. The bad is that it took a 12 hour vacation. Hopefully not again.

When I migrated to a new small form factor Dell PC, I didn't want to give up my old FireWire hardware, which still works perfectly and does important things for me (like recording and mixing music and controlling software).This card has worked perfectly for me. Easy to install, no hassles with my PC recognizing it, and works perfectly with my FireWire devices. According to what I've read, some of my FireWire hardware is pretty particular about working best with TI FireWire chipsets, and it has worked perfectly with this card.Completely happy with this card. It's doing exactly what I need with no issues.

Did what it needed todo plug and play

Easy to install, worked the first time and seemed to handle whatever I threw at it. I was expecting it to be more of a pain in the butt so that was a relief.Update 5 months later:I'm saddened to have to reduce this rating to 1 star. About 3 months after I first reviewed this product, I started noticing a decreasing in the speed that my data was transferring - I ran some tests and instead of getting around 200mb/s, I was getting around 30mb/s write speed and roughly double that read speed.If that had been the only issue, I probably would have only dropped it to a 3 star rating - this is a budget controller and most likely just didn't have the bandwidth for the sort of heavy use that I put it through.I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought an enterprise class controller at 20x the price of this one - I wasn't even upset, was just going to migrate this card to another computer that doesn't have the same workload and go about my day.It was when I started moving the data off of the existing drives so I could migrate it to a new array - it became incredibly slow during sustained read operations which should be the fastest operation - and every couple of hours one of the drives would go offline and I'd have to reboot the computer.This made the data migration a tedious exercise in figuring out what files were copied successfully and then starting a new migration from that file on - and just generally made me question the reliability of the card.To be fair to the card - if you are just looking to have a couple drives and not a heavy user, and if you do not want any features, it isn't a terrible card for $15 - you could do a lot worse, but I bet for $10-20 more you could also do a lot better.

The title pretty much says it all I think. This is old tech, but necessary for some people. I'm an amateur musician and use an old Sony 8 mm camcorder to record myself and upload to my YouTube channel. The only way I've been able to get a clear video and good sound is by using a FireWire cable. Back when this camera came out FireWire (1394) was superior to USB. That is not the case these days but I still have this old camera and needed a way to plug it in to my brand new desktop. These days these type of ports are typically not seen on new devices. It's a simple install on a PCIe motherboard. My old desktop had two of these ports on the MB but the PC itself is a bit of a dinosaur and I was having issues running editing software. If you're in the same boat and you are using the same type of connection device, this is the way to go. You're other option is to buy a brand new camcorder. Unfortunately, finding a good one that suited my needs was very expensive, so I opted for this. When the camcorder ceases to function and I know longer have this option then it will be a different story.

Without this, i was unable to digitize my old format video, i would recommend this to the people who are still looking for a firewire card to convert their memorable video.

Fácil de instalar. Mi computadora con Win 10 la detecto e instalo drivers sin problema. El cable incluido agrega valor, ya que no tuve que comprar otro aparte. Todo funciona como debe.

Does the job! bought this to use in my asus za690 pro gaming motheroard to capture video from my sony DCR_TRV24e handycam Hi8 tapes. Drivers were already installed in device manager on windows 10. Had to use virtualdub2 using 32bit as 64bit doesn't show any video but the kit does what you need it to.delivery was expected for the 15th but arrived 5 days early which was great.would give 5 stars but the box packaging had a tear on it and the seal was broken as if someone had opened it.

Installed this in my Windows 10 pc and worked right away no driver required. Works perfect to import MiniDV tapes from my Panasonic PV-GS300 camcorder. Works flawlessly with Windows Photos to import.

Shipped quickly and does exactly what it is supposed to do.
