[QUOTE="wytwolf, post: 398074, member: 21563"] Those 480Mbps and 400Mbps (not MB, MB is mega bytes and Mb is mega bits) are theoretical top speeds. In reality USB2 only reaches those speeds in bursts like stretchR has said. Firewire reaches it's peak and can hold it for a sustained period of time. Think of it as a porsche driving in a 30mph zone and pontiac sunfire driving in a 50mph zone. Which is the faster car? ;) [/QUOTE]
