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 HDDīs (or SSDīs) because itīs the bottleneck of PCīs nowadays. Iīm very disappointed in the state of current HDD technology. :-\

I had the impression USB 2.0 was the bottleneck.
