[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 22580, member: 34"] Re: Windoze tweeks for firewire audio recording USB can get to around 30MB/sec in my experience (theoretical max 60MB/sec), but the average hard drive can do 100MB/sec. One problem is, USB takes CPU to run, just like a network card. Firewire has a dedicated controller. In fact, I've done several multi-terabyte transfers to USB hard drives, and they almost never get through the entire transfer without crashing or having an error of some sort. It has always seemed to be an issue with the chipset on the USB mass storage device, because some do it and others don't. Before I committed USB to anythign critical I'd do a lot of testing first.
