[QUOTE="AlyciaAnimation, post: 661716, member: 49992"] I just did a little test. I also just got a LaCie drive with the triple interface, usb 2, firewire 400 and 800. Here were my results. I had a folder with about 20 items in it that was 7.09 GB. USB2 Write: 4:20 USB2 Read: 3:46 FW400 Write: 3:46 FW400 Read: 3:34 FW800 Write: 2:47 FW800 Read: 2:35 My firewire 800 did better on both tests than the 400. I did a search too and it seems that firewire 400 usually does better than usb 2 even though theoretically you'd think it'd be the other way around. I've always been partial to firewire. [/QUOTE]
