Works just great! 5 by .. Robert L. Keller (Chicago Area)
Does exactly what I wanted it to do. It became necessary when I bought my new Mac Pro laptop. Everyone tried to sell me an expensive cable with a 400 connector at one end and an 800 at the other. Finally, I went on the Internet and found this adapter! Dirt cheap and works great! Delivery was faster than even I expected!

Perfect Solution 5 by .. EJH (Garnerville, NY USA)
I don't usually write reviews, but I decided to review this item cause of some of the reviews mentioning size.
I find this a great product for the price and it take as much space as a standard size FireWire plug and you should find no obstruction with this FireWire adapter!

P.S. So don't be afraid.
Thank you!

Definitely would recommend. 5 by .. C. Lee (USA)
Got it today to connect 24 in alum iMac to Western Digital MyBook 1TB external hard drives using their old Firewire400 cords. Seems to work so far. Seems sturdily made

Essential for New Macs (if you have an older firewire) 5 by .. Amy Claire (Washington State)
I've used firewires for years--connecting my exrenal hardrive or for putting my laptop into target mode to transfer data from my desktop computer. Bought a new MAC and the firewire end changed! Instead of buying new expensive cables, bought this end. Workes great!

Works great 5 by .. S. Fuhs (San Diego, CA United States)
Got a new MacBook Pro which does not have the older firewire port. This adapter works great!
