Also, I really hate it when people quote USB 2.0 speeds as 480 Mbps, because
you really only get upwards of 40 MB/s if you’re lucky (320 Mbps) and 30 MB/s
usually (240 Mbps).
So make sure you don’t get confused by that.
Also also, keep in mind that a Firewire/USB-3.0 comparison is as stupid as
USB-1.1/Firewire. Nowadays it’s USB 3.0 vs Thunderbolt that you’ve got to look
at.

Also, don't forget that "firewire" also has a 2.0 version which is firewire 800
that is somewhere between usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 in performance.

Sorry I should have stated that better, USB supplies 5v at .5 amps or 2.5
watts total. Does FireWire use a higher voltage and amperage?
Cheers!!

Firewire shines when there is sustained data transfer over the line, as
well as cases where devices need to be powered by the host/hub.
"Independent benchmark tests between USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394a show that
IEEE-1394a is the performance winner, even though the published rates tell a
different story. IEEE-1394a lends itself to
real-time video transfer due to higher sustained data rates. It is also
very useful because of its peer-to-peer topology and ability to independently
power CCD cameras from a host controller.
USB 2.0, meanwhile, has evolved into a convenient interconnect for
external hard drives, flash drives, and consumer-grade digital cameras, owing to
the availability of these ports on just
about every computer now sold. As previously mentioned, overall sustained
data rates are reduced by the master-slave topology of USB 2.0 (due to overhead
and increased CPU load). The inability
to provide substantial power is another downside, creating the need for
an additional connection to the high performance camera." --

Lol i was just about to say, that if they hadn't been firewire it would
be a shame.

FireWire, shudders, wasn't that just to beat out transfer rates of
USB 1.0, which became obsolete with USB 2.0, and for sure is nothing compared
to 3.0
