That is my experience, and also that 800Mbps devices are rare. I would stick with USB, it won't be much faster, but I know it can put out 30MB/s consistantly.

Originally posted by sammorris: yes, but half-bandwidth, so 30MB/s (240Mbps) for a data transfer.
Any chance you can explain that to me please? Are you saying I should half the advertised transfer rates to get the actualy rate? How can they advertise something that is twice the actual speed?
Does the firewire 400 then have a rate of 200?? So usb2 is still faster?
I'm not entirely sure of the electronics, but I do know that USB can never exceed 30MB/s, even though it is advertised as being twice that speed. IIRC it's the same for firewire too, but don't count me on that.
