4 out of 5 stars Card review.......2007-02-12

This card was exactly what I ordered and it arrived in timely manner.

2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.......2006-01-19

I wanted to sync my iPod as quickly as possible, and the documentation (printed and online) suggested that firewire would be faster than USB or USB2.0. But I've synced several times each way, and at least this PCMCIA firewire cardbus is *slower* than USB2.0.

Plus, the iPod battery is recharged during a USB/USB2.0 sync, but *not* during a firewire sync. So not only does the firewire sync take longer just for the music, and not only is additional time (and a connection) required to recharge the battery, but the battery also drains *during* the firewire sync, making it a triply long process.

I'm returning this, and going back to USB.
