Add More Fire (Wire) Power to your Arsenal
Does your computer have enough FireWire connections for your digital device collection? When high-performance is a must, rely on FireWire 400–it's the interface found on most high-end peripherals. From DV camcorders, audio interfaces, and external drives, to digital cameras and scanners, thousands of devices connect to computers via FireWire. For many users, there's just one small problem–a lot of computers don't have FireWire 400 ports (even the latest Mac® Pro computers only have two). We have a simple solution to this dilemma–install Sonnet's Allegro Express FW400 to instantly add two FireWire 400 connections to your computer!
Allegro Express FW400 features full-bandwidth, independently powered FireWire 400 ports, and each one supports data transfer rates at up to 400 Mbits/s. This card also powers bus-powered devices (such as external drives and audio interfaces), so there is no need to connect an external power supply on some devices. With no drivers to install, Allegro Express FW400 offers simple plug and play installation that enables you to add the connections you need in minutes.
Notes for Mac users:
Allegro Express FW400 does not support Target Disk Mode, nor does it support deep sleep in Mac® Pro and Power Mac® G5 computers. Deep sleep removes power to PCI Express cards and is not supported by PCI Express cards that can connect to external devices.
Mac Compatibility:
• Mac® Pro
• Power Mac G5 with PCI Express slots
• Mac OS® X Version 10.3 or later
Windows Compatibility:
