@jerrie3,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

Personally, I wouldn't utilize my PCIe x16 slot, as it is reserved for a graphics card.  If this holds true for you as well, go for something like this: Amazon.com: StarTech.com 4 port PCI 1394a FireWire Adapter Card - 3 External 1 Internal FireWire PCI....

 

Btw, most FireWire cards, particularly those designed for consumer or standard use, typically require just a PCIe x1 slot anyway.

 

Keep in mind that FireWire has become less common, and USB and Thunderbolt have largely taken over as the primary high-speed data transfer and device connection interfaces.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
