if I have a 4 pin firewire port, this will still work?

It should work. The Mbox Pro 3 has a 6-pin firewire connector. The difference between the 6-pin & 4-pin firewire interfaces is that the extra 2 pins provide power to the device. The Mbox is wall-powered, so that shouldn't matter. You'll need a 6-pin to 4-pin adaptor cable, of course.But more importantly, check that Avid provides drivers for your computer & OS. Without those, it's useless.

Yes, it will. There is a 4-pin to standard firewire cable in the retail box.

Hi J Dodich, You can use Firewire, please to make sure your Mac also support this connection. Dave

Yes. 4-conductor (left) and 6-conductor (right) FireWire 400 alpha connectors. Also USB Video Conversion Systems (Ion). There are many converters and converter cables that are very cheap too!

Will help you connect a FireWire peripheral thru the thunderbolt port, in case you do not have available ports.

It has two Firewire 800 ports in the back. Though it will also accept one USB.

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

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

I have recently started using it with apple's thunderbolt adaptor. I haven't had any issues whatsoever, it works just as well as it does with firewire.

I have a MacBook Pro from about 2011. I'm not sure what kind of FireWire port I have (4, 6, or 9 Pin). If the supplied 6 pin firewire cable will not work, I'm assuming I'll have to buy the correct pin FireWire cable but how do I know which one I need? Thanks

You might be able to find something that will give that effect, but you'll likely notice drastic performance reduction. It sort of defeats the purpose of the firewire connection.

Th firewire cable shown is a 4-pin male to 6-pin male. By convention, the "male" connector always plugs into the "female" receptacle.

All the data ports on the hub are FireWire 400 (there is also a power connector for its power brick, which is about the same size as the hub). To use this hub, you would typically run a FireWire 400 cable from a FireWire 400 port on a PC or Mac to the hub, and you could then plug up to 5 FireWire 400 devices into the remaining ports.

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

I use fire wire. The camera has that port on the back you pc must have a version of fire wire. 4 pin 6 pin and so on.

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-

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.

No you can not connect firewire to any sort USB ports. Fire wire and Usb are two different dinosaurs. Fire wire sends a signal kinda like this [-------------------------------------------] [-------------------------------------------] where usb sends signals like this [---] [---] [---] [---] While there are some supposed USB to PCMCIA or even Express Card adapters on the market. You can not use a Firewire card in such adaptor, because the same signal issues. You have a USB BUS and also a PCI bus that interface with an Express Card slot or PCMCIA slot. Firewire HAS to interface with the PCI aspect of it. Due to the way the firewire sends its signal. It just will not work. Trust me on this one. For Laptops with such Express Card slots try an older Dell E latitude series. There is also a handful of laptops out there if you search hard enough for such slots, and or still have A T.I. Firewire chipset built in. They are getting harder to find, and they are much more $$$ than the average consumer laptop sadly. The fact is people who use firewire devices are far and few between. So Hopefully manufactures of Audio devices will adapt to the USB 3.0 or the future the USB 4.0 (not out yet) instead of firewire. for an attempt at lossy formats.
