Do you think fire wire is dying or do you think it is the way forward (speed wise)? |

To answer your question, it is not widly used across laptops, and isn't always included in desktop pcs but it is still widely used in the music and film production side of things because music recording and uploading of anologe to digital data requires a fast connection (faster than USB) It could possibly be dieing on the home front because most video cameras no longer need a firewire upload, but it will never die out completely as long as digital interface manufacturers still make products that require it e.g. MBOX 2 |
|
i think it is dieing because usb transfer speed is always getting faster with usb 3.0 and now many cameras use usb. |

Its kind of like the question, will notebooks kill the desktop and the answer is always the same. The transfer speeds on firewire are a lot faster than usb and they always will be. |
