If you are on Mac then firewire(400) is faster than USB2 but on the Windows platform they are about the same. Apple have some serious issues with their current implementation of both firewire and USB2. The G5 is slower writing to USB2 and firewire than an eMac and slower writing to Firwire800 than a G4 laptop.

Is an external firewire hard drive faster than a USB2? I thought it was the
other way round.
