 Fine if you don't need to chain it March 10, 2010

I needed this to dump video from an older camcorder (Firewire 400) onto a new iMac that has only a Firewire 800 port. It didn't work (Final Cut couldn't see the camera) when I plugged it into the free port on my external FW800 drive, but worked fine when I disconnected the external drive and plugged the adapter directly into the iMac. If you have enough free space on your internal drive to get around that quirk, its a cost-effective choice.

NO PROBLEMS SO FAR......CONNECTS TO A G-DRIVE EXT HARD DRIVE....CHEAPER THAN A NEW CABLE AND DOES THE SAME JOB...WRAPPED A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL TAPE AROUND THE CONNECTION TO SECURE THE G-DRIVE CABLE TO THE ADAPTER....WORKED LIKE A CHARM

...but the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the fit in the FireWire port. It doesn't fall out, it works perfectly, it's just that it doesn't fit flush, and gives the impression that it's GOING to fall out. All in all, it was well worth the price, as I was able to transfer settings from a MacBook to a new MacBook Pro, as well as use the FireWire cables I already owned with my new MacBook Pro flawlessly.
 Does not work with the iSight firewire camera and new MacBook Pros February 6, 2010

I purchased this before the Christmas holiday to hook up an iSight camera with Firewire 400 to a new MacBook Pro with Firewire 800. I was planning on using it with iChat to video chat with my brother's family in Canada. It didn't even show the camera in System Profiler. I received a black one even though pictures show a white one. At the time I purchased, I had not seen other reviews indicating it didn't work with the iSight.
