Re: Cables: USB 3 - Firewire800
As others have noted Merv.not worth it. I fail to see the value in it even if it were technically possible. If it were a legacy device that you just had to have, maybe...but an external Hard Drive? Nup. Just plug it into your USB port on your iMac and it will work OK, just not as fast as Firewire800. Alternatively, get an external Firewire 800 case and transfer the drive (assuming it's not a chipped drive).

Re: Cables: USB 3 - Firewire800
Thank you everyone for your responses. A dealer I spoke to suggested such a cable existed but they didn't have one in stock. However, having read all your responses I decided that if indeed it did exist there was the potential for unpleasant outcomes. I have just returned from a shopping trip with a 2TB WD My Book Studio with Firewire 800 - which raises another question, so I will start a new thread.

Hi Merv, As far as I know USB and firewire are incompatible formats. Unless there is some sort of fancy conversion hub involved (that I am not aware of) no cable will be able to connect the two.
