[QUOTE="andrebnu, post: 389418, member: 28649"] Hey guys, Is there a way to test the transfer speed of a firewire connection? The reason is that I've bought a externall HDD with FW 800 connection. It proclaims itself to have a sustained transfer rate of 73MB/sec. It would give me roughly 4.4 GB/min, right? Last night a did the first backup from my mbp to the ext disk. I'm not sure, but as far as I could notice, transfer rates were about 2 GB/min... What should I expect from this kind of connection? tks! [/QUOTE]
