FastSun Firewire IEEE 1394 6 Pin Female to USB Male Adaptor Convertor 2PCS

Received it Damaged

Doesn't work all. Simple task: plug my old external firewire hard drive into a modern Windows PC with USB. Tried multiple drives, multiple PCs. Nothing. The PC will not see the hard drive. The USB and Firewire standards are (unsurprisingly) apparently different in more ways than just routing a few wires between these two different plug shapes!

es un buen adaptador, cumple lo necesario.

it dose not work as it was described.. it will not convert firewire to usb

Bottom line, this will not work to hook up a FireWire HD. I did not read reviews and instead spent a quick $7 on this adapter thinking I could easily hook up an old FireWire hard drive and organize some old files. I plugged it in and immediately got messages saying to unplug and all my other hard drives automatically disconnected. Fortunately nothing bad happened. Only then, after the fact, I read that a FireWire device uses too much power to run through a USB. So DUH, this adapter will not work! Hopefully you read this before wasting the money. I tossed it in the trash so some other sorry sucker doesn’t get it! I did a lot of research and ordered a new cord plus a thunderbolt adapter. Fingers crossed that the $40 purchase does the trick.

Effortless transaction, a real genius solution to the problem. Worked like a rabbit out of a hat.
