Or at least better then Firewire 400 (aka 1394a). As you may know, FW400 is 400 Mb/s and USB 2.0 is rated at 480 Mb/s, so you'd think USB 2.0 would be faster. But it's not. In all my experience with file transfers, it always comes up short, and Firewire is by far faster and more stable. I don't have any concrete reports in front of me backing this up - just experience and gut. Yet USB seems to be the belle of the ball for some reason. WTF??
