USB is too slow. Transferring large amounts of data is much faster with firewire. Great price since a decent 1.5 TB hard drive would cost you the more. Tempting since I have a lot of pics and HD videos.
eSATA is the only solution for big capacity external HD. USB is way to slow...
hah hah, standard firewire is from the 90's and is much slower than usb 2.0, I don't see many firewire 800 drives, and the ones I do see are expensive and not much faster than usb 0 Apple abandoned firewire for a good reason.
Actually, #3 is wrong about the speed difference.
USB 1.1 is like 11mbs, USB 2.0 is 480mbs
Firewire 400 is 400 mbs, Firewire 800 is 800 mbs.
The biggest difference is the FireWire, uses a "Peer-to-Peer" architecture in which the peripherals are intelligent and can negotiate bus conflicts to determine which device can best control a data transfer while USB uses a "Master-Slave" architecture in which the computer handles all arbitration functions and dictates data flow to, from and between the attached peripherals (adding additional system overhead and resulting in slower data flow control).
Firewire 400, even though it's speed rating is lower than USB, delivers faster performance pretty much every time for everything (read/write for both numerous small files or large files).
What #4 said.
I've spent a lot of money on both Firewire and USB 2.0 drives. Guess which one is by far the fastest? USB 2.0
i want usb 3.0
