5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!
This is working out really great so far. It's a little long, but it's better for it to be too long, rather than too short. At least this way I know I have some slack if I need it.

This cable definitely works better than the one that came with my external hard drive, and if anything happens to this one, I'll buy the same one again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy these cables!
These cables seemed to be a good buy for the money, and after buying 4 to replace all my firewire cables for my external hard drives i found that the plastic end caps of these cables will separate (not break, almost as if they're designed to do so) and when you remove the cable from a port, you are left with a flimsy plastic cap stuck in your port. I had 3 out of 4...

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy these cables!, December 16, 2008
This review is from: Tripp Lite F015-006 IEEE 1394b Firewire 800 Gold Hi-speed Cable, 9pin/9pin - 6ft (Personal Computers)
These cables seemed to be a good buy for the money, and after buying 4 to replace all my firewire cables for my external hard drives i found that the plastic end caps of these cables will separate (not break, almost as if they're designed to do so) and when you remove the cable from a port, you are left with a flimsy plastic cap stuck in your port. I had 3 out of 4 cables all perform this way and had to break and tweeze out the remaining pieces from my 1TB WD hard drives. DO NOT BUY THESE CABLES!!!

This review is from: Tripp Lite F015-006 IEEE 1394b Firewire 800 Gold Hi-speed Cable, 9pin/9pin - 6ft (Personal Computers)
I find a significant reduction in performance with these cable compared to the cables I was replacing. I am disappointed and hope to able to return them. Data transfer is unreliable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Intermittent connection, December 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tripp Lite F015-006 IEEE 1394b Firewire 800 Gold Hi-speed Cable, 9pin/9pin - 6ft (Personal Computers)
Every time I used this firewire to connect my MyBook external drive the icon indicating the drive was connected would disappear after a few minutes, and the connection was lost. Fortunately, this didn't happen when I was trying to access the drive, but still.... The USB cable from one of my old MP3 players manages to stay connected, so it's not my drive or computer. I sent the firewire back for refund. My dependable old USB cable works just fine and didn't cost me anything extra. Would definitely not recommend.

I think the person complaining of the plastic head getting stuck in their hard drive might have pulled it out a weird way, because I haven't had a problem yet, and I've been using this for a while now. Or, maybe theirs was defective? Or, maybe mine is somehow oddly more durable? Who knows. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Just Fine....Very Reasonably Priced, January 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tripp Lite F015-006 IEEE 1394b Firewire 800 Gold Hi-speed Cable, 9pin/9pin - 6ft (Personal Computers)
Works reliably, so far. No problems. Transfers data to and from my Mac without issue. Connectors fit securely..... not too loose or too firm. Seems well made. Excellent value!

What can I say? This 6' FW 800 cable has been connecting my MacMini and External FW800 Iomega drive for over 2 months now. So far so good.

It's hard to say anything about a cable other than "it works". It doesn't come unplugged accidentally, or even with anything less than a moderate application of force, and it transfers data at the speed its supposed to. The length is good and I don't think that this cable will break on me with normal use. It just survived a move, too.

These are good cables that come in a variety of lengths. This was a great price. Firewire 800 is fast.
