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 have found the drive to be reliable over many months of porting between multiple computers. I have no power issues using the Firewire 800 port. I have not experienced any loosening of the port and have used it extensively interchanging between multiple machines (iMacs) as noted above.

Need to know more. Did it break off? or is it lodged in the computer? Is the pin still usable but the wire is broke? Could you be a little more specific? Maybe even upload a pic? Depending on how badly damaged the pin is you might be able to either get a new one from the tech division of Asus (or perhaps repair/solder the old/damaged one.) Go to their home page and try sending them an email. Good luck.

I have used mine for about a year and have little problem. Of course not needing a firwire cable that is not supplied was a pain. but all and all it works well. I was hoping to get at least 5 years out of it. After reading your post, I am not so sure anymore.

Yeah, get rid of the f'ng thing and buy one that works. I f'ng hate this product. It stops working intermittently for no reason..

Sorry, but I don't think this mobo supports firewire. You might have to get some sort of converter from usb to firewire. Just search in Amazon: usb to firewire if you need it. You can go to the Gigabyte website to look at the specs: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4144#sp. I didn't see it in there. BTW, I think firewire only supports up to 800Mbps. USB 2.0 is up to 480Mbps. This mobo has USB3.0 that is 10x faster than USB2.0. I recommend buying USB products in the future so that you have more flexibility. The Lightning port (Apple's Lightning Bolt) supports 10Mbps, the new Lightning 2.0 supports 20Mbps. I don't know of many products supporting that the Lightning port so I think USB is the way to go. Otherwise, you need to buy adapters. Sorry for the late response. Goodluck

Although it doesn't have a FireWire connection, you can use it with the USB connection. My idea was that this would be a temporary solution till I get my new Mac with thunderbolt and then it will fly. Hope this helps.

Correct. FireWire is only used for connecting a camcorder or external hard drive.

The male end of the device plugs into the new firewire 400 port. The female end of the device accepts the older style 800 firewire cable. The title suggests that from the newer 400 port you would be able to plug in an older 800 cable. Most people would think of the remote device plugging into the computer and i that case it is an 800 to 400 device. And it works...

It was in 2009 that Apple went to an internal heat sensor in the hard drives. It is discussed in the Apple forums here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3860372 . I would use an external box that uses thunder bolt which is as fast as the internal bus speed the 2tb drive is connected to. The firewire box you are trying to use might be limited by the chip used in it to 2 tb. I replaced a hard drive in a 2007 iMac with no problem using ifixit.com. It still had the external heat sensor.

Yes you can use both. However, you may an adapter for the firewire. The LaCie runs on 2.0 even though it is equipped for 3.0 just fine. Currently, I am running my 17in MacBook Pro with thunderbolt and firewire since I have two external hard drives plugged in. Before Thunderbolt, I just used firewire and my 2.0 USB.

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.

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-
