[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 394699, member: 279"] Firewire 800 transfers at 100 megabytes/second. Unless your friend is encoding her audio at 100000 kbps she will see no benefit from FW800 for what she is doing. Even FW400 at 50 megabytes/second is overkill for basic audio. FireWire 800 is great if you have to transfer huge files, video and the like but for the most part general consumers don't do anything that really would benefit from FW800. I will be getting a FW800 card reader from Lexar when it comes out because transferring 8gb worth of photos can be time consuming, but other than that I would have no use [/QUOTE]
