The revolutionary new FireWire 800Mbps
drives are here now....
DIGITAL VIDEO
AND AUDIO EDITING
FireWire 800 is far superior to FireWire 400
for audio and video editing, with dramatically increased
transfer speeds.
With more than two times the usable bandwidth
of USB 2.0 it's a far better choice for for high-speed
storage
and video capture. In fact, the extra speed of FireWire
800 makes it much more suitable for bandwidth-intensive
applications like video, audio and any multi-media application
employing large file sizes. A single
hour of of DV-format video consumes about 13 thousand megabytes
(13
GB), therefore a 320GB FirewireDirect HDD will hold
about 24 hours of video! Try backing that up with traditional FireWire
or USB 2.0.
