FIREWIRE, the connectivity revolution for A/V and graphic applications

FireWire ports are now available for all new Apple models, including the new iBook and iMac. The FireWire revolution is now embraced by the PC world as well (IEEE 1394, iLink). With a transfer rate of up to 50 MB/sec FireWire is the ideal standard for connecting a hard disk that will be used for demanding applications such as audio/video or digital imaging . FireWire external hard disks are even faster that most internal hard drives.

With hot-plug capability and a capacity of up to 75GB, LaCie FireWire hard disks can easily act as a data-shuttle, for transfering large files from a computer to another.

The connectivity revolution:
400Mbps 1394 Interface; 12-14 MBytes/sec sustained throughput.
Hot-plug capability: disks can be added or removed while the computer is running.
Automatic configuration: immediate device recognition, no terminator, no device ID.
Scalable architecture: daisy chaining of up to 63 devices.
