[Flexradio] Firewire vs. USB 3.0

2011-06-17 Thread Thomas Hendricks
Firewire is becoming more and more difficult to find in both PCs and in laptops. I have hopes of being able to run a Flex 5000 with a Sony VAIO with a 2.0 / 2.9 GHz i7 Quad Core processor. Unfortunately USB 3.0 appears to have displaced Firewire 400 800 in the VAIO that I like for other reasons

Firewire vs. USB vs. Ethernet Something still bothers me about this USB vs Firewire issue. Since USB works fine with the 1500, but is not accceptable for the 3000 or 5000, the greater receive bandwidth of the latter two must be the limiting factor. What is different about the Perseus that

I'm in the pro audio business, and there are very, very few USB interfaces in the pro world. The best ones (and Metric Halo in many people's opinion is the top of the line) are generally fire wire only. MOTU does have some interfaces with USB 2 interfaces, but they also include firewire. USB

It is really interesting to see that arguments going on, mostly over Firewire vs. USB and how USB would be a better choice, probably as a result of the greater prevalence of USB. After all, with USB 2.0 having speeds comparable to IEEE 1394a (400Mbps Firewire) and USB 3.0 being much faster,
