New hard-to-find cable for new Aluminum iMacs
This cable was not to be found at local office supply stores (even though it appears on their websites), electronics retailers, etc.
I recommend this cable when specifically used to transfer data on Apple Macintosh iMac computers (newer models only) with MIGRATION ASSISTANT software as provided by Apple as part of their Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system. I tried using ethernet/wireless and had poor results. Best results were obtained using this cable and directly connecting the...

It works, its thick, its Silver not white, it slips out with not much effort
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I bought this because I have a MacPro with the Firewire 800 port. The cable is clear showing the silver braided shielding. It works for the several months I've had it. I've used the cable alone with a portable drive and with an external drive. I have used it with a firewire hub. I have had no problems with this cable except it seems to easily get knocked out of the port. It does cli...

Worked well
This cable worked perfectly to migrate data from an older Mac to my new one. They did send a black cable instead of a white (as pictured), but this wasn't an issue for me since I don't need it out all the time. However if you're planning to have it connected all the time, you might want to check on the color before you order.

Grateful for internet purchases!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) How pleased I was to get this 9 pin to 6 pin cable so quickly and efficiently in order to get my new Mac going, after finding that the Apple store itself could not supply the cable. It is a bit bulkier than the borrowed cable at the Apple store, but it transferred the data very quickly.

Does What It's Supposed To Do
I have a portable hard drive with a FireWire 800 port and a FW 400 port on my PC. USB was an option, but would have required an AC adapter to power the HD. I prefer having one cable for data and power. The one I received was not biege, it was clear coated and allowed you to see the shielding underneath, but that isn't something I really care about.

This product worked properly and so far I've had nothing to complain about. It didn't see flimsy nor did it seem extra strong, just very average.

Just what I needed
A no hassle product from Amazon. Unpacked it, plugged it and made clicked a switch on my device and everything worked as planned.
A great addition to my iMac and also freed up a much needed USB port.

Works well
I bought this cable to use Mac's migration assistant, from an old Power Mac G5 to a new MacBook. I couldn't get migration assistant to work, but it wasn't the cable's fault. The cable worked really well when transferring data to/from an external hard drive. The product photograph shows a white cable, mine was silver. Looks pretty nice. No problems for me.
