[QUOTE="MacAddikt, post: 46091, member: 27"] i love numbers as much as the next guy, but unfortunately those are only theoretical speeds. any data storage or speed comparison test has always ended with firewire winning. the factors i think that make the difference: firewire is 6-pin (2 for power, 4 for data) - more bus power = more consistency firewire is 100/200/400mbps vs usb 1.5/12/480 mbps - so if for any reason the device only supports a lower base, firewire will be much faster. but none of it matters because firewire 800 own3s [/QUOTE]
