Dynamode PCI-3PFW 3-port FireWire Card

Product Description

Connect your PC to all your high-bandwidth Fire Wire devices such as digital cameras, personal audio players, hard disks, & camcorders, & experience fantastic Fire Wire speeds with the Dynamode PCI-3PFW 3-port Fire Wire Card. Providing speeds of up to 400 Mbps, the Dynamode PCI-3PFW 3-port Fire Wire Card makes for an excellent expansion facility. Although USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 has a peak theoretical speed of 480 Mbps, Fire Wire is much faster in practice, because it applies no load on your computers other resources such as the processor. It also differs from USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 in that it is exceptionally reliable
- if you need a constant, high throughput
- which camcorders need, for example
- then USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 is simply not an option. The Dynamode PCI-3PFW 3-port Fire Wire Card has some nifty features that make it a joy to use. For example, PCT resettable fuses provide reliable over-current protection, hot-plugging is supported, & up to 63 nodes are dynamically configurable on the bus, so theres no need to turn off the system when attaching or removing IEEE 1394 devices. The Dynamode PCI-3PFW 3-port Fire Wire Card provides 3 ports that operate completely independently of each other in order to maximise your peripheral connectivity. Its compatible with IEEE 1394-1995, P1394a (rev 1.1) & OHCI (rev 1.0) standards, & interfaces with a normal PCI slot in your desktop computer.
