s/USB/anything/ In benchmarks I've seen, FireWire tends to do somewhat better than USB, and eSATA is very significantly faster than both. I'm sure a fast disk with a good USB bridge on a good USB host adapter with a good USB driver will out-perform a slow disk with bad FireWire bridge/HA/driver. I bet a USB hard disk is faster than a SCSI floppy drive. Apples-to-apples, USB isn't the fastest you can go. But if it's all you got... USB that you have is faster than eSATA that you don't have. But all this doesn't help the OP at all. The OP should benchmark the performance of what he's got. It doesn't really matter if X could be faster if his particular X is slow. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
