had mine for several years with no problem - check wires and for good power supply (the transformer that runs it). operate the switch off/on/etc. a couple of times

The same thing happened to me and then I found that the wires had separated from the fire pin. In short, it fell apart after only being used three times. Very poorly made!

What type of firewire did you get to download the video from the camera to the PC? I have tried the Belkin one that others have bought, but the PC doesn't recognize it.

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

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.

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.

I had the same problem too but it turn out that one of the wire crimp was not connecting correctly. I would check all the 12v wire make sure it have a good connection. If you still have problem, give flex a lite a call and they will take care of you. thanks

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

I have no idea. I would think that it should stop when it is not connected. I would go down to the fire dept and ask them. They might come over and have a look. They didfor me when I couldn't figure out how to SOS one t the old one. Good luck.

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.

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.

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..

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 can't tell if there is more than one version, but this one specifically is a USB 3.0, which means it does not go into Firewire

You can Purchase a thunderbolt(Male ) to firewire adapter (Female ) from apple £25.00 I use one and its great

The USB to FireWire cable is flawed in just about every way, USB reads digital and FireWire reads analog signals, there is no way for one to translate for the other. This is a bad investment. Try an analog to digital converter, a little pricier but they will work.

No! Firewire technology is entirly diffeernect. If you do not have a thunderbolt port on your computer firewire will not work
