Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sonnet FireWire 400 to 800 Adapter (FAD-824)

Customer Review: Perfect.
Summary: 5 Stars

Bought a new Mac Pro for the office and my boss was quite upset to find that Apple has completely discontinued Firewire 400 support and as such, he was unable to use his incredibly over-priced iSight. Ordered two of these so we could have a spare in the office, and it worked like a charm. Immediately found the iSight through the Firewire 400 port in his monitor and was back in business. Two days later, my boss's daughter bought a new MacBook Pro and wanted to do a migration from her old White MacBook. Target Disk Mode is incredibly useful, but without 800 on the MacBook or 400 on the MacBook Pro, there was no way to connect them to each other to migrate her data, (except for Ethernet, but that has always broken why I've tried it). The second adaptor I purchased, to the rescue! They immediately recognized each other and the migration to her new MBP went extremely smoothly. And I looked the biggest bad ass in the mean time for having saved the day (albeit accidentally) by doubling up my original order. So moral of the story: Buy a couple, save the day.

Avoid Hassles--Just Adapt!
Which cable should you get? What length? Why bother? Use your existing FireWire 400 cables with this FireWire adapter from Sonnet to connect FireWire 400 devices to a FireWire 800 port, without going through the trouble of purchasing yet another cable. Just plug it in between a FireWire 800 port and a standard FireWire 400 cable's 6-pin male connector (the other end of the FW400 cable plugs into your FireWire device). It can't get any simpler.
