Firewire and USB 2.0

  „The bottom line is that Firewire is faster than USB 2.0 for hard drives (data intensive). That means that for data intensive applications, like drives and digital video, Firewire is superior.“

Fire on the Wire: The IEEE 1394 High Performance Serial Bus

  „The IEEE 1394-1995 standard for the High Performance Serial Bus, here abbreviated to 1394, defines a serial data transfer protocol and interconnection system that "provides the same services as modern IEEE-standard parallel busses, but at a much lower cost." 1394 incorporates quite advanced technology, but it's the "much lower cost" feature that assures 1394's adoption for the digital video and audio consumer markets of 1997 and beyond. The capabilities of the 1394 bus are sufficient to support a variety of high-end digital audio/video applications, such as consumer audio/video device control and signal routing, home networking, nonlinear DV editing, and 32-channel (or more) digital audio mixing. Sony's DCR-VX700 and DCR-VX1000 digital video (DV, formerly called DVC) camcorders, introduced in September 1995, were the first commercial products to implement 1394.“
