[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1063879, member: 140470"] Those are the theoretical maximum speeds. Usually in actual usage most people won't get those speeds. I've been told that Firewire is more efficient than USB meaning you get closer to the maximum speeds compared to USB. This would explain the results I'm getting. In actual usage I've noticed Firewire has always been faster for me. This is why you can't always trust the advertised specifications from the manufacturers. [/QUOTE]
