From the manufacturer
Add 2 FireWire800 ports to a laptop through an ExpressCard slot

This 2 Port ExpressCard FireWire Adapter Card adds two 1394b FireWire ports to a laptop computer, providing a cost-effective way to add IEEE 1394A and IEEE 1394B FireWire devices even if the laptop doesn’t have a built-in FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 port. |
Simply insert the IEEE 1394B FireWire 800 card (EC1394B2) into an ExpressCard slot, and you’ll be able to connect a broad range of FireWire devices to your laptop, while relying on data transfer speeds of up to 800Mbps. |
The card is backward compatible with 1394a devices, so you can connect both FireWire 400 and 800 devices to the notebook, using the same adapter. |

Customer Review: Just what I needed and a great price

Just what I needed and a great price
Easy to install, no issues, exactly what I needed. I use a Presonus StudioLive AI 16.4.2 soundboard, but needed FireWire integration to use capture, RTA, and other SMARRT tools. Works great, no setup and no conflicts.

The problem I have is that I paid nearly $60 for a new card and obviously recieved one that had been used and returned. The card arrived bouncing around loose in the box, the reason, I found was because it had been removed from the anti-static bag. The included image shows how I found it when I open the box. The device could not have slipped out of the bag because the length of the bag and how it was folded would prevent it from doing so. There is also a yellow sticker used to keep the bag closed; upon inspection I found that part of its adhesive side had torn off and remained on the part of the bag it had been applied to. Reading reviews I note that I am not the only one to have recieved a used/returned item.
At first the Z Book (i7 4000 series) didnt seem to acknowledge the card; there was no tone or chime from the PC that it had been inserted. Ultimately it was a hard reset, holding down the power button until the PC rebooted, that solved the problem. I have since used it to transfer video from my old Sony Digital 8 camera without issue.
The Lenovo T420 is even more ancient by todays standards with an early i5 2500 series processor. The reason I have kept it is because it came with a factory installed firewire port which made it invaluable for my video transfers. Unfortunetly that port isnt as reliable anymore and lately I was having issues with connectivity. I got this card for the HP Z-Book, but tried it in the T420 as well and, after a little driver issue, it worked fine.
The problem with the drivers came about while it was checking and installing whatever components it needed. After I installed the card in the slot the T420 laptop chimed to let me know it saw it was there, then there was a dialog box saying it was ready - but it wasnt. When I repeated the process and clicked on the dialog box for more info it showed that there were actually two more driver/components it was attempting to check and or install; this took a good 5 minites to complete. Afterwards the card worked fine.
Knowing that it works on both devices I'm almost tempted to purchase a second card but I dont know if I can trust the seller.
Kudos on the functionality of the card, Shame Shame on the seller pawning off used cards as new. I needed the card ASAP and that is the only reason I didn't return it.
Works fine but was sent a Used/Returned card.
