Do you find that USB 2.0 is not really meeting your needs, and are thinking about making the change to firewire? You might want to wait it out a bit. USB 2.0 has data transfer speeds of 480Mb/s; where firewire is at 800Mb/s. Intel is working with other companies to release USB 3.0 in mid 2008. It is showing promising speeds of 4.8Gb/s!

Yes this sounds very good, the next thing we need to have is super fast and quiet next generation HDD´s (or SSD´s) because it´s the bottleneck of PC´s nowadays. I´m very disappointed in the state of current HDD technology. :-\

I had the impression USB 2.0 was the bottleneck.
