Hi Rod, You don't mention if you're using FireWire 800 or 400. But either way...your speeds seem to be 20 Mb/sec for FireWire and 30 Mb/sec for USB. These seem slow to me, I would have expected at least 30 Mb/sec for FireWire, or more likely 50 Mb/sec. Maybe there is some other limiting factor in your setup? FireWire usually doesn't need as much CPU power compared to USB. Obviously for the disks you have, USB is faster, but I wouldn't extrapolate these results to other drives or cables.
