hello was wondering if this came with the 800 firewire cord?

Yes, this product shipped with multiple cables, including FW8. High quality plugs that mate securely to my MacBook and don't fall off like cheapies that ship with other drives.

Included are: 2 FireWire Cables (FW 800, FW 800 to 400); 1 USB 3.0 Cable (compatible with USB 2.0); Protective Carrying Case; Quick Install Guide.Hope this is helpful!

I believe it did since I have one here. to update my review... I was able to salvage my data with the help of a G-Technology rep on the phone and the purchase of a cable to connect directly to the hard drive after removing it from the case. I then returned the drive to G-Technology and they replaced it. the Hard drive was actually fine however the electronics on the case failed. Their customer support seemed to be fine but I was surprised that the units electronics failed after minimal use in a very short time.

G-Tech includes the hard to find Firewire 400 to 800 adapter. I use it everyday with my "old school" Firestudio interface and it works great, I have never had any trouble with it. Hope that helps.

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.

This device has three interfaces. A single USB3.0 interface, and two Firewire 800 interfaces.Firewire 800 can connect only to Firewire 400 or Firewire 800.

Yes it is... But you have to adjust the FireWire setting from regular to HDV FireWire

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I have no firewire accessories other than hard drives to use, so I really can't help.Sorry

It should have the cables in the packaging under the drive, both the special USB cable for the drive and a standard FireWire 800 cable.

K. Meagher, A FireWire port is not currently a standard feature for this configuration. However, the system is easily expandable, allowing you to add such functionality.

No, it only includes a USB 3.0. Supposedly you can buy FireWire cables, but I have not seen them available anywhere. The end that connects to the harddrive has an odd shape, so generic FireWire cables won't fit.

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.

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

Not this variant. Only the My Passport Studio works with Firewire 800. This particular variant of the My Book Studio comes only with 1 USB 3.0/2.0 slot. It's not a regular looking USB slot either. Scroll to the produce description to see how the USB looks like.

The WD My Book Studio 2 TB Firewire 800, has a firewire port and a usb port, if your mack does not have a firewire port it will connect through the usb port although at a slower speed than if it did at the firewire connection.

DCR-TRV310 has IEEE1394 (FireWire digital Interface). Almost every modern personal computer comes with this interface.

No it does not. I looked into a cord adapter, saw the reviews for several and actually went and got a PCIe Firewire card for my desktop

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?

Yes, it has FireWire. I use the camera with iMovie6 to convert videos to mpeg4 and other formats, or do it from the camera through iDVD
