FireWire / IEEE 1394 standard of Communication
Do you use USB and think its pretty fast? …… Well there’s another technology which is as fast (or probably faster) as USB 2.0. This connection technology is called FireWire or IEEE 1394 Interface.
The IEEE 1394 interface was developed by IEEE (Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers.) and was introduced as a high speed communication interface in 2003. It has since then gained popularity but USB still remains a more popular choice and more devices still use the USB system for communication.
The diagram to the left is the Older IEEE 1394 socket but was later modified into smaller form factor as shown in the right. (Infact it is much smaller than the USB Port in terms of size.)
Now a word about performance……
Firewire is the favorite when it comes to performace as it has superb speeds and data is transferred very quickly and its performance is comparable to USB 2.0. Hence it has found itself place in many high performace devices such as Portable HDD’s, Digital cameras and other devices.
Hence the next time you go for shopping an device, don’t forget to look out for an firewire port for a better performance. Have a nice time…..
