QUOTE(lms2005 @ Jun 30 2010, 01:36 PM) firewire mia quite long time... try ask from apple shop I'm currently using an iMac which has only firewire and USB ports. I intend to use an external HD for my photo library and I know that using a USB 2.0 HD is going to be too slow to access and process the photos. My internal HD is all full up. Hence the reason for me looking for a firewire HD. Since the firewire HD is no longer available, I would appreciate it if anyone has any solutions for me besides upgrading the internal HD. Thanks.

Thanks guys, for your contributions. you can use sata as ext hdd 1st plug power to hdd 2nd connect sata cable 3rd go device manager refresh (windows based) speed like normall sata(I or II)  I think that I now have no choice but to upgrade my internal HD to a much higher capacity one as there is no sata port for my iMac.  |

QUOTE(cannavaro @ Jul 2 2010, 12:19 AM) The difference between FW 400 and USB 2 is obvious when I conducted a test on WD MyBook Essential via HDtune. USB fluctuates a lot while on FW the graph is a lot more stable... and closer to the max theoretical speed. I'll post the graph if I can find it in the PC at my office. Yes, my iMac has a Firewire 800.vnair, is your iMac equipped with a Firewire 800 port? Added on July 2, 2010, 12:22 am USB 3 > Firewire 800 > Firewire 400 > USB 2.0 Will we see a Firewire 1600 in the future?  |
