| Firewire is a great technology. The main problem people seem to have with it is when they daisy chain too many devices or are using too many devices on a single Firewire bus. Computer manufacturers (namely APPLE) need to start building their computers with more than one Firewire bus in order to really offer all the convenience and speed that the protocol can offer.
Firewire 800 is a big leap in convenience for me over 400, mostly because backups and transfers are faster. I also do notice a slight increase in available track count when using 800.
I want locking connectors in the next revision. |
