Tango 800 PCIe features the fastest PCI Express to FireWire 800 controller available, the Texas Instruments XIO2213A, enabling this card’s three external FireWire 800 ports to extract every ounce of performance from fast external drives and DV camcorders to deliver maximum data transfer speeds and satisfy the demands of video and pro audio application work, where high-speed and high-bandwidth data throughput are essential.

Tango 800 PCIe installs easily into one of your computer’s PCI Express (PCIe) slots, features hot-pluggable and hot-swappable device connection support with automatic device configuration, and works with all industry-standard FireWire 800, FireWire 400⁽¹⁾, USB 2.0, and USB 1.1 peripherals.
