(2 out of 5) by Duncan Idaho on Nov 18, 2009 (San Francisco, USA)Using this with a 2009 MacPro "Nehalem" 2.66 GHz with 8GB RAM running 10.5.8
This card is SLOW! I have no benchmarks but transfers are slower than the built in FW 400 in my 2.0 GHz Macintosh G5 and built in FW 400 in my Toshiba Satellite Laptop. I've tested it with several SATA drives in FW cases as well as PATA drives, both 3.5 and 2.5 sizes. Cases had both Oxford 911, 912 and LSI chipsets.
I'll be looking for one with an NEC chipset next. Hope that will be better. I hear Macs work better with them.

Excellent
