Normally would be faster with Firewire. Interesting to see though. Kind Regards Daniel On 19/7/10 6:40 AM, "Rod Blitvich" < rb...@iinet.net.au> wrote: Hi Daniel
The folder was a Final Cut project including all the raw footage, scratch disk
etc.
It was copied from an 18 month old macbook pro internal drive in both cases.
The FW drive was quite old, maybe 5? yrs and almost full.
The USB drive was brand new.
cheers

Curious, as I'm never found USB to be faster then Firewire (even
FIrewire400) for large amounts of data transferred.
What type of files were you copying?
Which sort of machine were you using. And were both copied from the same
internal drive to the external drive one after the other?
Would certainly be interested to hear more info.....
Kind Regards

Some interesting figures
I copied a 23 GB folder to a USB Drive and then to
a Firewire Drive. The FW drive is several years old, the USB is new (don't
know if that makes a difference)
Firewire was slower.
Firewire = 22 min
USB = 12 min
