Firewire 1394 + USB Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5-inch SATA Laptop Drive, Bus-Powered

Q: I have some DV videos and no longer have a laptop with a firewire port. Would I be able to use this to transfer/capture the video to my laptop?

Short answer: No, not possible.The other answers I think miss what you are trying to do. My guess is you have a camera that uses MiniDV tapes and has a FireWire output for transferring video to a computer, using a 4 pin to 6 pin FireWire cable. This drive case CANNOT translate between FireWire and USB, so you can't connect the drive to the camera's FireWire cable and a computer's USB port and expect to transfer the DV movies this way. Also, you can't connect the drive alone to a camera's FW cable and expect anything to happen - the movie transfer requires a program to receive the movie onto a hard drive, and this is just a drive case, not a computer that can run a movie program.FireWire and USB are completely different standards. They communicate in completely different ways with a computer. When I researched this a few years back, there was essentially no way to translate between FW and USB without having a full-fledged computer that had both FireWire and USB in between. So if you want to transfer your DV movies to a computer, either find a computer with FireWire, or go to a service that can download the movie files from the DV tapes for you. Note that most services translate the movies onto a DVD, but you lose a lot of the original DV resolution if you do it this way. I'd provide the service with a drive and ask them to give you the original DV files.

Q: is the fire wire cable included?

Yes the fire wire cable was enclosed

Q: Will it boot an imac over firewire 800 with an ssd installed? will it boor with no power to?

If you connect via Firewire you don't need a power source, but you need to allow the drive to spin up first.... So you need to hold down the option key right after the startup chime on your iMac. That will allow power to go through to all ports & bring up the boot drive selector. Select your firewire drive and boot will continue. You CANNOT boot from ANY firewire drive by selecting it from the OS preference because the computer needs to put power through ports -- in other words, the computer must be into the boot process before it can make use of any external devices that draw power from the computer. Even if you have a power supply for this type of external case, there is no guarantee you can boot from it without using the option key at startup -- 90% of these types of drives will work as startups only using the option key.

Q: My new imac with lightning port and firewire adapter will not power my hasselblad camera i was told i needed a powered adapter. will this provide it?

NO! This USES power supplied to it (to power a hard drive enclosed within). You need an adapter which plugs into a 120/240 volt circuit (depends on the country where you live) which has an adapter cable which will plug into your camera.
