If I'm not mistaken; USB 1 has a 1.4 megabit transfer rate, USB 2 has a 480 megabit transfer rate, and USB 3 has a 5 gigabit transfer rate. (Try not to confuse megabit with megabyte.) Firewire tends to trump USB 1 and USB 2 for disk transfer rates, or any high throughput activity, while faster firewire speed protocols is now really now becoming non-existent upon the advent of USB 3. With these apparent transfer rates, I usually double think the pros/cons of remotely locating a scanner and having the scanner nearby attached via USB. Multi-user access is also a feature of networking. The increase in speed is usually only noticeable with larger files; and whether or not you're in the process of running out the door or just sitting around doing nothing. -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
