Oh yeah…

There is a new FireWire that is twice as fast as the old FireWire, it is called FireWire 800.

The conector on FireWire 800 is different. My new laptop has conectors for both. I've yet to own a FireWire 800 drive or even ever seen one in person, but it is still a regular ATA drive inside.

I see they are now selling cases with USB2, FireWire, and FireWire 800 ports.

I guess a FireWire 800 case with a really fast drive in it would be awesome for Photoshop or video work. It's over kill for what I do, but who knows…
