Will plugging in a firewire 800 cord make a firewire 400 external hard drive go fast?

[QUOTE="ghsusaxa75, post: 1227947, member: 46440"] I have a external hard drive that has a firewire 400 port. I have been using that since, but recently, I realized that I had a firewire 800 port that could connect to my macbook pro (2007). I was wondering if I were to use the firewire 800 cord instead of my firewire 400 cord, would there be a faster data speed transfer? The firewire 800 cord has an adapter which can connect to firewire 400 pieces. Will this mess up my data? Are there any issues with doing this? [/QUOTE]
