3 Port 2b 1a Low Profile 1394 PCI Express FireWire Card Adapter
StarTech ID: PEX1394B3LP
This 3 Port PCI Express FireWire card comes equipped with a low profile bracket for installation in small form
factor PCs, and includes an optional full-size bracket for installation in a standard-sized PC case.
The FireWire card can be installed in a PCIe slot to add two IEEE1394b (FireWire 800 - 9 pin) ports and one
IEEE1394a (FireWire 400 - 6 pin) port, providing broad compatibility with a wide range of FireWire devices (e.g.
DV camcorders, external hard drives, digital cameras, etc.).
The 2x FireWire 800 and 1x FireWire 400 card features a native (single chip) PCI Express chipset, which
provides faster, more reliable and cost-effective performance than expansion cards that utilize a "bridge" chip.
Applications
Add a high-speed FireWire port to a desktop without any FireWire support
Connect a digital camera to a desktop with a PCI Express slot to download photos and video
Connect a high-speed external hard drive to a PCI Express-enabled system
