Firewire To Thunderbolt Cable Best Buy

After running Lightroom and Photoshop on a MacBook Pro for about 5 years, I finally broke down and bought the Mac Pro. I did not realize how much time I had been wasting, twiddling my thumbs while the old MacBook churned away processing images. The Mac Pro is very fast and quiet and has a nice assortment of ports. After purchasing a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, I was able to quickly mount two daisy chained external Firewire drives along with a USB3 drive and a new Thunderbolt backup drive. It is also nice to have the 1TB internal flash drive for software and temporary storage. It took me a while to figure out that I needed a new, Thunderbolt to Display Port cable to connect the Mac Pro to my 27 inch NEC monitor. Once I got the NEC cable and a keyboard, I was quickly up and running with a monitor resolution of 2560 x 1440 (no adaptor required). Although the Mac Pro does not have an optical drive, I learned that it can share the drive on my MacBook Pro using WiFi or an ethernet cable. I was able to use this approach to install some software that I have on CDs. Overall, I am very happy with the Mac Pro. It may be the last computer that I ever buy.

I have had mine several months and am pleased with it. It does not support Thunderbolt 2 or Firewire 400/800. It does get quite warm during use.

I was looking for a firewire 4 to 4 point cable and Buy this Pearstone and i really love it, Need it to can connect my Canon Vixia to Pc and work with Adobe Premiere and actually really work. I am very glad with Pearstone

With this adaptor I connected a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor and the daisy chain worked fine... so far. I do have other gear, with Firewire connectivity, that I have yet to test but will.

This adapter combined with Apple FireWire to Thunderbolt , and FireWire 800 to 400 adapter for using old FireWire device with M1 MacBook Pro. Works great.

Needed Thunderbolt for new iMac. and this holds 2 hard drives, up from just one with my Voyager Q which had a melt down and blew the Firewire on my old iMac. Or it could be the other way around.

Bought this with thunderbolt firewire adaptor. I use it with MOTU digital audio workstation and MacBook Pro (2017). It allows me to be mobile with the DAW. Works great with no issues.

Just got this the other day. Have been waiting months for this! Works with my Asus gaming laptop, going thunderbolt to firewire adapter to my Presonus Firestudio.

Very fast. Great for FCPX. No Firewire ports but it is not a problem with Thunderbolt peripherals with Firewire ports for older drives. I am very happy with TB drives so just copied stuff over.

Backward compatibility is important when you have been in this game for long (my first Mac bought in 1993). This adapter made it possible to daisy-chain an old LaCie Firewire 400 drive containing old photos through first a Firewire to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor and then the current Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter. Plug and play. Worked like a charm.
