does it work with firewire 800 convert

the device is for 1394a, not 1394b. The speed is half the 800 and may or may not support your application requirements. My requirement was only for 400, and it works great. If the speed is not an issue, my hunch is that it will work.

If you mean, "Can it be used with an 800=>400 FW convertor?" then, yes, yes it can ... of course, your speed will be 400 ...

I stopped using it, still wasn't perfect. 2-3 fire wire, sure, but not more.

you must have a firewire port. USB ports will not work.in addition, your firewire chipset must be ti compatible.

I have no idea whether or not works with a firewire. I use mine with usb3 and a pc. My son uses one with a mac and usb2 w/o problems.

400- you would have to get a converter cable that goes from 400 to 800 if you want to use 800.

You'd have to check with Apple - I suppose there is a transcoding device or a different type of firewire cable you might not be familiar with. I'd check with the "genius" bar.

Hi Nichole - If you are wanting to use a FireWire 400 device then yes, you will need the thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, which is FireWire 800, and then this adapter to plug your FireWire 400 cable into.

No. It is the wrong kind of connection. You need PCIE. This is PCI. After wasting money on this one, I bought the SIIG FireWire 2-Port PCIe (NN-E20012-S2) after this one. Works flawlessly on my 2012 PC running Win7.

I know it works great on Win7 also. FireWire was part of many XP systems back in the day. so the drivers do exist. Most likely once installed, XP will find the driver. If not, do a windows update and see if one is found then. A few Google searches might find a generic driver out there somewhere too. But yes, it works great with video cameras that have the FireWire interface. Though a single core 32bit XP system will hardly handle the live streaming digital video from the camera. I wasn't too impressed with mine at the time.

It won't work that way and might cause damage to both pieces of equipment. You need a firewire to USB cable or adapter. Firewire and USB are two different standards/technologies.

Yes, use the usb3 port on the drive left of the firewire portshttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154548

Not sure where to get one but it does have an eSATA port and 2 Firewire 800 ports you can use also. I would email the support at G-Tech for assistance.

Sure ! It's FireWire 800, so for 400 you'd need an adapter cable, on either aperture or iTunes, you hold option when you open & create NEW Libraries, you can't have 2 libraries open at once, which I'm sure you know. I use mine as a passthru for some older FireWire 400 gear & as a second library for just the same as you're looking, only caveat ? It doesn't like to unmount.

Beware - there are no current PC's or laptops that I am aware of that have the 1394 Firewire function. If you buy a new firewire card and install it in a PC, chances are it will not work in Windows 7, or 8. Windows 7 does include a legacy 1394 firewire driver but I was never able to get it to work with the firewire card. Extensive research on the web reveled few computers running Windows 7, or 8 could get it to work. An older computer running Windows XP and Vista will get the job done if you need the firewire.

No you will need to use the thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter and then use a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter.

I am experiencing spin downs and unreliability. I think it is more a mac os x issue rather than the hardware enclosure, and I know that apple is not supporting firewire 800 anymore as they are focusing on thunderbolt, and as I am running version 10.7.5 of Os X, I have multiple spindown and -50 errors on my external 800 hard drives, I am sorry to add more confusion to the mix, mine might be a different story when I update my os x.

The one I bought supports usb 3.0 and esata-Not firewire-I think you can get one that does, just make sure to read the specs/see pictures-

I am not sure, but it does have 2 firewire connections. I have one connected to my computer, and the other connected to an audio interface. It works well for that.
