This enclosure kit has the firewire connector? or just the usb 3.0?

Rogelio, The model I ordered has a USB 3.0 port only with an on/off switch and a port for an optional external power supply. OWC also offers a bare external case available with USB 3.0 and Firewire 800 for 59.99. Hope this helps you!

There are two different models. Mine came with just the USB 3.0 port and cable, but there is another OWC model that has both USB 3.0 & Firewire ports. It does cost more than this unit. Check the MFG's website for more details.

If you go to rog.asus.com...four Super-Speed USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, mini-DisplayPort, VGA (d-sub), Gigabit Ethernet, an SD/MMC slot and 3.5mm headphone and microphone.no firewire. the mini-display port is NOT thunderbolt capable, but does support HDCP and DVI.

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.

3.0 cable will work with 2.0 connection...but transfer speed will be USB 2.0 speeds. Use Firewire (FW) 800 . FW is half the speed of USB 3.0 but USB 2.0 is approx. 4 to 5 times slower than USB 3.0.

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

(Going from memory) You'll need a USB 2.0 header for the USB ports, another USB header for the memory card reader portion, an audio header for the audio jacks, a 1394 header for the firewire, and a SATA port for the eSATA portion. All the cables are included. There are also molex power connectors for driving fans and an input one for powering the box, if I remember correctly.The temperature sensor is a small probe on a wire; from what I can tell, it seems fairly accurate, but it's only going to be useful for reading the general temperature inside your case, or perhaps on a heatsink if you rest it in the aluminum fins.

Try and use - plug into - Firewire as it is faster than USB2.USB Speed = 400 Mb/s Firewire 800 = 800Mb/s

No. You need a FireWire 800 cable. Check the on-line manuals for your computers at apple.com. Newer models use a more compact receptacle. USB 2 cables won't work but USB 3 cables on 2013 models might. Best to stay with FireWire. Some cables come with adapters.

There are two Firewire 800 ports on my drive and one USB 3 port(designated SS USB)...I only use use Firewire so not sure about USB 3 to USB 2 compatibility. Great drive for Firewire.

I used one of these enclosures today ( an older generation ide version) The drive drew too much power from the single usb cable, so it needed a usb power cable as well. (Standard usb on one end goes in computer, the other end is a power tip.) I thought they were generic. I had it from another old enclosure. (Drives used to take more power so often came with more power cables), generally if they require over 500mA (look on the drive), it can't be powered by 1 usb port alone, I believe. Not sure on firewire, I think it can handle more power.

Working on my mac mini perfectly. USB3.0 and OSX Mavericks. I have not used the firewire port but I assume it will work well.

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

It has both a firewire and USB and comes with both cables in the box. I use the USB 2 on my iMac 27". Have had zero issues with the drive. Buy with confidence.

You can try using firewire to isolate a possible problem, but no, Firewire (at its fastest) is 800Mbps. Versus 5000Mbps for USB3 (5Gbps.)

I don't recall any instructions, but I think there may have been some on the box. First there are no drivers needed. This unit will fit in a floppy drive slot in your case. It's fairly straight forward. There are four separate cable pairs, 1 for firewire, labeled 1394, 1 for HD audio, and two cables for the four usb ports. Just make sure that your motherboard has usb headers that will work. The cables are fairly long. Hope this helps.

It's unlikely. Firewire is controlled by a specific chip that doesnt exist in USB
