What sets our card apart from the rest on ebay and most store brands? Unlike other USB/Firewire combo cards such as OrangeMicro, VST, and BELKIN, our cards use two different onboard chipsets to operate the USB 2.0 and Firewire functions. Now what does this mean to you? Basically it means the card will not have any conflicts with itself or share bandwidth between the USB and Firewire ports. Other cards only use one chipset and hope you wont notice if some of your firewire speed drop slightly while a USB device is plugged in. This one technical aspect is why we have had a ZERO return rate of these cards out of the thousands I've sold already. In both PC and Macs, they run perfectly. Read my feedback and you'll see what good things people have said about them!
