MP 7,1 FireWire PCIe

[lostinforums]

Anyone tried this card in a 7,1?

StarTech.com 3 Port 2b 1a 1394 PCI Express FireWire Card Adapter - 1394 FW PCIe FireWire 800 / 400 Card (PEX1394B3)

The 2b, 1a card features a native (single chip) PCI Express chipset - resulting in faster, more reliable and cost effective performance than expansion cards that utilize a "bridge" chip.

id rather get a pcie card for my FireWire devices rather than the thunderbolt adapters.

thanks

I usually search the Amazon reviews for "Mac Pro", and there's one listed from this month (May 2020) that says it worked for them with a Mac Pro they just ordered. I would assume that's a 7,1.

This is the one that I have. It works well for me and my Gen 2 Drobo (one week so far, no issues).

I've not tried it yet with my other FW devices.
