PYRO Drive Kit has two 1394 ports for maximum flexibility in your FireWire topology. 1394 bus power is supplied through the port for a bus-powered drive (or other devices). The secret ingredient that converts your IDE into a FireWire Drive is the PYRO Native Bridge board. This board comes pre-installed in your PYRO Drive Kit.

Sustained transfer rates of over 16MB/sec. have been achieved with hard drives in the testing labs. Digital Video only requires 3.9 MB/sec. so you have lots of SPEED left over for other tasks. With the PYRO 1394 2.5" Drive Kit it''s never been easier to add storage to your computer or network server. Just install your drive and connect. You can easily connect one drive to the next. There are no terminators or device ID''s to worry about, FireWire does all of that for you automatically. Want to add a drive to your computer, just plug it in. No re-booting required. Want to remove a drive, just let your operating system know that you are removing a drive and unplug. This is so easy… you''re going to fall in love with your computer all over again.
