Firewire 400 speeds

"FireWire 400 can transfer data between devices at 100, 200, or 400 Mbit/s data rates (actually 98.304, 196.608, or 393.216 Mbit/s, but commonly referred to as S100, S200, and S400)."

Could someone elaborate on this? I can upload files to my iPod mini at 27 Mbit/s, which seems to suggest that FireWire 400 can transfer data between devices at any speeds between 0 ~ 400 Mbit/s. What is the meaning of 100 and 200 Mbit/s speeds? --Tokek 15:40, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

iPod mini uses flash memory right? That's definitely the bottleneck, the max is still about 3.5 MB/second for writing.

Wrong, iPod mini uses a disk drive. iPod nano introduced Sept 2005 uses flash memory. Wendell 03:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Troubles and Tribulations concerning FireWire

I remeber reading somewhere that supposedly curruptions or errors of some sort could occasionally occur during the transfer of large amounts of data due to a flaw in some of the older drivers. If anybody knows more about this, it should be added to the main page somewhere. Sweetfreek 03:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism

My last revert was in fact reverting contributions from 194.83.77.2, not 210.211.138.32 as stated on the edit history page. quig 17:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
