Revolutionary! FireWire StingRay 800 is new, but the difference is apparent 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 300GB FirewireDirect HDD will hold about 22 hours of video! Try backing that up with traditional FireWire or USB 2.0.

800Mbps FireWire & USB 2.0

The FireWire 800 interface on the StingRays provides substantially faster reads, writes, and access times, especially when doing sequential reads/writes. Firewire is fast, but even these pioneering first of their kind 800Mbps hard drives will show immediate leaps and bounds over your existing storage solution performance.

That means whether you’re a digital video or audio pro or just someone who wants the best in easy to use external storage, your applications will launch quickly, large files will save faster than before, and your data will move to the drive faster than ever before the very first time you plug it in and play with it.

FIREWIRE/FIREWIRE 800 AND EASE OF USE

There is nothing simpler than FireWire, and nothing changes with FireWire 800. It's still as simple as plug and play, and you can still hot swap and chain Firewire Devices. FireWire 800 is backwards compatible, so they will work with traditional FireWire equipment. FireWire 800 is cross platform, and will work with your Windows or Mac OS X machine.
