[QUOTE="§am, post: 133197, member: 9187"] FireWire had a theoretical transfer rate of 400MB/s and FireWire 800 (II) 800MB/s which until the recent introduction of USB3, would have put FireWire II at the top of the external transfer speed list. It's true that it's very difficult to find laptops with FireWire ports these days, but strangely PCMCIA ports are still easy to come by and that's a much older technology, for which products are still an expensive option. I have a FireWire capable old digital camcorder and some tapes with wedding stuff on it, luckily one of my PCs has FireWire on it, otherwise none of the other laptops/PCs/servers I've bough recently have that available. Though I can buy an add in card to do it, but its an expense for something I won't use often :( [/QUOTE]
