[quote BigGuynRusty][quote testcase][quote Filliam H. Muffman]I have not heard of any flash media that is faster than USB 2 yet so if the FireWire version is even 10% more, it is overpriced.
Standard Firewire400 is routinely a good deal faster than USB2 in real world data transfer. Larry from OWC gave the technical details the other day. Ya gotta keep up!
TC is speaking of the "Flash Media", not the connection.

I could not find any comments by OWC Larry in the last month about the FireWire flash drives being faster than USB 2 drives. I understand that FireWire on Macs is faster than USB 2. If they are just coming out with a FireWire version so G5 and older Mac users can boot from it, great. If they are using a new faster type of flash memory that can take advantage of FireWire then they should say that.
