Not a bootdisk. *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2015* Runs hot in firewire800 mode, but still ok. Does not boot my macbook in USB or FW800 modes, but does work well otherwise. Has worked fine without external power for all my applications (except booting the macbook!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Used with Macbook *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014* I wanted a firewire housing for my MacBook Pro old hard drive after I replaced it with a solid state. This works well. It was easy to install my old hard drive and it serves as a backup for my macbook. Firewire is very fast and convenient. It does heat up, as expected, but backups do not involve prolonged use so no issues. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Not great, and dangerous to your data. *by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2015* When I took it apart to install the drive, the thing looked a little flimsy. But once reassembled, it looks solid enough.Con: it is supposed to work without an extra power source, directly from the usb or firewire port. But it does notnecessarily do so. I have tried it in several computers, with various ports and cables. Sometimes it works, and sometimesit does not [while other drives have no problem]. When it does not work, plugging into it a 5v external supply [not provided,but easy to get] solves the problem. But this is not ideal if you plan to use as a portable external hd for, say, a notebook.Pro: I was impressed by the instructions. Unlike many other products I have bought, they are written in clear English [a secondbooklet in French is also provided] plus pictures. None of the, quite common, annoying/useless bad-drawings-without-words, orinstructions with one sentence in seven languages, followed by the next again in seven languages, ... with probably equallybad grammar across all the languages.After using it for a couple of weeks, I decided to downgrade my review. The power source problem is more seriousthan I thought. Even when the enclosure seems to be drawing enough power from (say) a firewire port ... you cannotbe sure! The darn thing might just "drop out" in the middle of a transfer, ruining whatever was being done. I just losta whole time machine backup this way. This is really bad, makes the thing nearly useless. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13037088-tango-plus-usb-2-0-firewire-400-firewire-800-2](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13037088-tango-plus-usb-2-0-firewire-400-firewire-800-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
