[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1728893, member: 56379"] I did some searching...and I was finding that this sort of adapter isn't super common. But...do some searching at monoprice.com. If they don't have it (or the price is too high)...then you don't need it.;) Here's a file transfer time calculator. Don't know how much data you're transferring...or what sort of computer you have: [URL]http://techinternets.com/copy_calc?do[/URL] Example #1...USB 2.0 speeds (your computer if not too old is probably at least USB 2.0...could be USB 3.0): - 500gig of data - USB 2.0 speed - 10% overhead Transfer time = 2 hours, 36 minutes, 26 seconds Example #2 (firewire 400): - 500gig of data - Firewire 400 - 10% overhead Transfer time = 3 hours, 10 minutes, 58 seconds Example #3 (firewire 800): - 500gig of data - Firewire 800 - 10% overhead Transfer time = 1 hour, 35 minutes, 29 seconds Example #4 (USB 3.0): - 500gig data - USB 3.0 - 10% overhead Transfer time = 22 minutes, 25 seconds USB 3.0 would be the fastest (if your computer has USB 3.0).:) HTH, - Nick p.s. The overhead I believe is to compensate for the fact that we never get 100% of the theoretical transfer speed for each of these file transfer methods. Adjust the "overhead" as necessary. p.p.s. I used 500gig of data as an example. Of course adjust the amount of data transferred to the exact situation. [/QUOTE]
