Hi All, Im a new iBook user (recently changed from Windows) which I receieved as a gift, and i noticed the option to have a Firewire External HD !!! I am currently using a USB External HD, but my question is :-
IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE A FIREWIRE CABLE INSTEAD OF THE USB CABLE THAT CAME WITH IT ??? IF I FIND THE CABLE, WILL MY iBOOK RECOGNIZE IT??
The reason for asking this is due to the speed that the USB writes to my HD (a bit slow). However, i noticed that Firewire transfers speeds up to 400MB per sec !! THAT is PERFECT!!!!!
Answers appreciated !!
Cheers!
YaZ!
