Title: Have Vista - Don't bother
Product review: I'm running a nice Dell laptop with Vista Ultimate. I bought this firewire card to connect to a new external SATA drive that supports Firewire 800.Transfer rates are about 1/8th the speed of USB2.0. I'm hard pressed to get it to max out at 1MB/Sec when my USB easily hits 9-10MB/sec.I just got off the phone with Belkin support."Oh, we use the built-in vista drivers."I asked, "Do the default vista drivers support Fireware 800".Answer, "No, they only emulate Firewire 400 support"."When are the drivers for Vista going to be ready?""I don't know. If you need Firewire 800 support you should probably return this one and get another kind."WOW!Belkin used to make great gear. This has put me over the edge. I'm done with Belkin.
