Cables USB2/USB1

I have a USB2 Flash card reader and a USB2 card in my G4/400. Recently he USB2 cable developed a fault and in the short term I have used a USB1 cable in its place. I do not have a real benchmark but I think the speed downloading photos from the reader to the computer is more or less

USB2 vs Firewire

What are the pros and cons of Firewire vs USB2 for external hard drives, especially for digital video? I am currently entirely Firewire but there are some good deals on big USB2 drives these days. Experience based comments welcomed TIA Severin Crisp

Hi All, While this subject is on the agenda can anybody say whether normal OS9.1 usb drivers will handle a USB 2 device ? I would not expect so but have not found an answer to the question yet ! ? Thanks Bob

Hi All, While this subject is on the agenda can anybody say whether normal OS9.1 usb drivers will handle a USB 2 device ? I would not expect so but have not found an answer to the question yet ! ? I believe the answer is "Yes, but at USB1 speed" as USB2 is meant to be backward

Re: USB2 with OS9.1

usually (read pretty much 100% or the time) a device drivers are bus independent, that being the whole point. The bus (USB) drivers handle the bus specifications and in this case USB1 is a sub set of USB2 and therefor backwards compatible. It maybe that a device such as a video conferencing

Re: Cables USB2/USB1

I imagine USB 2 cables come with the "USB Hi-speed" logo in the moulding or on a sticky label.

Re: USB2 vs Firewire

Hi Severin USB is not a practical format for use with video on the mac, as it moves data in packets, and not as a constant stream. Most people find that it is too slow. Great for cheaper backup, though. cheers Jude What are the pros and cons of Firewire vs USB2 for external hard drives

Re: USB2 vs Firewire

Hi Sev, I'm currently mulling this one over also. It may also depend on whether you have firewire 800 or only (as me) 400. I hear support for firewire as technically better for moving data, but I see the momentum going with USB, even from Apple!: - All new ipods are USB2 not firewire. - Th

SATA Drives in USB2 Cases?

I'm looking to do some high speed storage (for off-site storage of a series of machines using sneaker drives). Why are there so few SATA / SATA2 3.5" cases with FireWire at reasonable prices? Surely USB2 is a major bottleneck too : http://www.barefeats.com/usb2.html Do I jus
