[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 762311, member: 56231"] That's a good point Alexis and one that has bothered me for some time. I read the posts about firewire vs USB, and with all due respect to their views, I think you're right, ie. there's little difference between USB2 and f/w 400. f/w 800 however is a different matter, and I don't dispute that. I too use a USB2 ext HD, and I have no bother viewing movies from it. In fact, that EHD gave me no end of bother using f/wire (it's a combo enclosure) because the chipset is meant for Win. I ceased using it with other than USB2. [/QUOTE]
