When it may not be suitable
This card is not intended for use in systems lacking an available PCIe slot or in computers running operating systems other than Windows. It will not provide faster speeds than the 400 Mbit/s limit defined by the IEEE 1394 standard, so it is not suitable for high-bandwidth tasks that require modern USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt speeds.
