[QUOTE="nZa, post: 514895, member: 39799"] Firewire400's normally 20-30% faster than USB in every test I've ever seen, and from personal experience. (Usually 40-45MB/sec range) Firewire800 runs around 80-90MB/sec range, claiming 100MB/sec as it's max. (That's actually the easiest way to remember - 800 megaBITS = 100megaBYTES) That's just as fast as most internal drives in laptops. [/QUOTE]
