FireWire––also known as iLink and the High Performance Serial Bus––is a cross-platform serial input/output technology for transfer- ring data between computers and peripherals. Developed by Apple Computer and Texas Instruments, FireWire was adopted as an offi- cial standard by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers; the official name is IEEE 1394x.

Isochronous data transfer at a rate of 400 Mbps

FireWire is suitable for applications where delayed or out-of-order data frames are unacceptable, such as digital video editing.

Supports up to 63 devices

FireWire devices can be linked in a daisy-chain configuration. With the use of FireWire hubs, up to 63 devices can be linked on a single FireWire bus.

Peer-to-peer architecture

FireWire devices are intelligent. Data transmission can take place without the need for input from the computer.

Cable length up to 4.5 m

On-bus power up to 45 W

Some FireWire devices do not need to be plugged into an outlet; they

can get their power via the FireWire cable.

Plug & Play

You do not need to install drivers, assign unique ID numbers, or con- nect terminators.

Hot-swappable

Devices can be added and removed while the computer is running. Also, you can turn off the device when not needed.

About USB 2.0

USB (Universal Serial Bus) quickly became the standard for low-band- width computer peripherals, such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras. The second generation (USB 2.0) is up to 40 times faster, making it suitable for devices––such as external hard drives––that require large data throughput.

Data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps

Data transfer rates can vary depending on a number of factors, including available CPU resources.
