Will I be able to adapt any firewire interface to the 3.0 USB on my computer, i.e. recording IO interface?

This device has three interfaces. A single USB3.0 interface, and two Firewire 800 interfaces.Firewire 800 can connect only to Firewire 400 or Firewire 800.

No, this drive enclosure does not convert from USB 3 to Firewire. It either operates as USB or Firewire. When using Firewire, it provides a pass thru port to daisy chain other Firewire devices.

I found an adapter that used the DisplayPort on my 2011 MBP and converts it to USB 3.0 and eSATA.

It's unlikely. Firewire is controlled by a specific chip that doesnt exist in USB

Unfortunately, This camera doesn't have a firewire port. I've never used it for this purpose but I'm sure it could be done through usb. Have you checked the manual?

It does have a FireWire port but I think it is only 400. Could be wrong; haven't used it yet. IIRC the 800 uses a more rectangular connector.

Greg. After buying a lot of different cards and cables, I finally plugged right into one of the existing USB3 connections in my computer case from my new motherboard. It is blazing fast and I have experienced no failures yet. I could re-install a firewire card and get faster speed for downloads, but I haven't found many affordable firewire cards that are campatable with my motherboard and inexpensive as well. So I decided to use the existing USB3 connections. The USB technology is an advancement over firewire connections by giving you more connections, but you give up some of the speed capabilities for downloads. Carefully select a card to buy if you choose to do so, each card (firewire and USB) are different and nothing from the manufacture says it will work in your motherboard or application. My needs are for storing video for broadcast TV programs and to edit them. Your needs may be similiar, or less equipment intensive than mine. So make your selection based on your needs or you could keep spending a lot of money on cards and cables and nothing work according to expectations....

I believe you do need a FireWire cable- you can buy a FireWire card for about $26 right here:

3.0 cable will work with 2.0 connection...but transfer speed will be USB 2.0 speeds. Use Firewire (FW) 800 . FW is half the speed of USB 3.0 but USB 2.0 is approx. 4 to 5 times slower than USB 3.0.

Sorry, but I don't think this mobo supports firewire. You might have to get some sort of converter from usb to firewire. Just search in Amazon: usb to firewire if you need it. You can go to the Gigabyte website to look at the specs: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4144#sp. I didn't see it in there. BTW, I think firewire only supports up to 800Mbps. USB 2.0 is up to 480Mbps. This mobo has USB3.0 that is 10x faster than USB2.0. I recommend buying USB products in the future so that you have more flexibility. The Lightning port (Apple's Lightning Bolt) supports 10Mbps, the new Lightning 2.0 supports 20Mbps. I don't know of many products supporting that the Lightning port so I think USB is the way to go. Otherwise, you need to buy adapters. Sorry for the late response. Goodluck

There is another enclosure by Acomdata specifically for PATA drives. It only supports USB2.0 connections, not Firewire.

I checked my manual and can find nothing relating to a firewire port. I also looked for a reference to IEEE and could find nothing on that either. It has HDMI ports, ethernet, and USB ports. Hope this helps. Wouldn't this type of port be listed in the tech list? Good luck finding what you need.

I have no idea whether or not works with a firewire. I use mine with usb3 and a pc. My son uses one with a mac and usb2 w/o problems.

you must have a firewire port. USB ports will not work.in addition, your firewire chipset must be ti compatible.

No, it only includes a USB 3.0. Supposedly you can buy FireWire cables, but I have not seen them available anywhere. The end that connects to the harddrive has an odd shape, so generic FireWire cables won't fit.

I'm not really sure but the USB and firewire connection works just fine for me.

If your computer doesn't have a FireWire port you'll need to purchase one (you can purchase FireWire cards for both Desktop and Laptop computers). The ADVC110 is NOT a replacement for a FireWire card -- it is simply a digitizer for LIVE video and audio (not for file transfer). If your computer does not have FireWire you'll have to purchase a device that can take the analog output (composite -- yellow, red, and white RCA cables) and turn that into a digital signal (such as over USB) into your computer... but having TWO digitizers (the ADVC110 and whatever analog-to-USB digitizer you have) is somewhat pointless, unless your camera ONLY outputs live audio and video through FireWire (I don't know of any cameras that ONLY output via FireWire -- almost every camera out there, including HD cameras, include some form of composite output).

No there is no firewire port on here - most computers today (past two years have removed firewire). Built in audio is excellent for a laptop - There are only 3 USB ports that's the only downside - but you can be very, very cheaply usb hub - other then that I highly recommend this laptop for the money

Whatever the older port is (which I think is firewire - the newer is USB, right) well, I gave up trying to adapt it to my new laptop and don't use it for my youtube postings anymore.

Hookup your firewire input on your computer and then go from the external (My Book) to your other firewire input.
