[QUOTE="scottmcp432, post: 1227964, member: 179129"] I believe that what he is referring to is a drive like the iOmega I use as a backup for my MBP. This drive comes with ports and cables for USB 2.0, FW400 and FW800. If that is the case then using the FW800 port and cable to connect to his Mac WOULD result in faster R/W speeds. Unfortunately, as is so often the case, the OP failed to provide specific info as to the make and model of drive he is referring to. [/QUOTE]
