I was about to point that out Merker
Also with my experience with Firewire it's been a little more snappier and nicer.
I have a external cdburner that's on a firewire/usb2.0 interface. When it's on USb it tends to be laggy when I'm first scanning it, but the transfer is still great.
Firewire the transfer is the same, but initially looking at the cd it flows like water over tammi's ass.
I haven't had to use firewire in a while, but I like it. I would like to see how the 800 standard fares.
