Why ExpressCard? ExpressCard, the new standard destined to replace CardBus, effectively quadruples the amount of available computing bandwidth. This results in faster music downloads, smoother streaming video, and lightning-fast access to mass-storage devices. The Belkin FireWire 800 ExpressCard offers the perfect solution for users who want to add a fast FireWire port to their notebook computer. The Card is designed to take advantage of the additional bandwidth and features provided by the new ExpressCard I/O interconnection standard. Now you can stream movies and download video from your camcorder to your hard drive simultaneously - without worrying that your computer will freeze, crash, or slow down to a trickle. The ExpressCard future-proofs your notebook computer with technology so advanced that it exceeds the processing-speed capability of many devices currently on the market. Installing the ExpressCard now will give you device-upgrade expansion room for many years to come.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Just doesn't work well with my Macbook Pro
Comment: I was trying it to link an external hard drive and it constantly freezes the program and crashes the computer. What a waste of money! Belkin is pretty useless when it comes to support, too...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Item in good condition but not compatible.
Comment: Ordered this item, took while to get here. found out incompatibility with desired device. Took a few emails and phone calls to get an RMA, and it was denied despite my trying to exchange for the appropriate item, and no favorable options were suggested. Not sure if doing business with seller in the future. Good luck

Summary: works well
Comment: I like this card in general. My only complaint it that the connection to my MacBook Pro doesn't feel very secure. If the card gets pushed in while connected it will unmount. Other than that it works perfectly.

Summary: Belkin Firewire 800 ExpressCard doesn't work with Windows Vista on Thinkpad T61 or Windows XP on Thinkpad T60
Comment: I bought this card and two lexar firewire 800 compact flash card readers. First off, I was amazed to find out there isn't a Vista driver for this card. OK, I can deal. I downloaded the latest driver from Belkin on my wife's T50 which has XP. Rebooted the machine with the card and the lexar compact flash reader installed. Nothing happens. No drive letter magically appears. What a piece of trash. Shame on you Belkin. J. Hart. P.S. their service department doesn't apparently answer emails either.

Summary: Mac Leopard users BEWARE!
Comment: Could not get this to be recognized by my Mac. Just got off the phone with Belkin - They say there are problems with leapord (although tiger should work)
No ETA on a fix yet.
