Not feeling so bright this morning. Anyone know a formula so I can calculate how long it will take me to transfer 267 Gigs into a firewire drive using a 400 cable. Thanks in advance.

Re: Firewire 400 Question
can you do it twice as fast with firewire 800?
Re: Firewire 400 Question
Yes, but the PC I have to use only has Firewire 400 outputs. I can't transfer the files on a Mac cause of the way the client formatted the firewire. I just wanted to figure out how long it would take. I feel dumb asking my boss.
Re: Firewire 400 Question
you can do it faster in 400 than in usb 2.0.....LOL
how do you have a PC that ONLY has firewire...I have NEVER seen a PC like that.

Re: Firewire 400 Question
How long did it take you? I've clocked a 35 GB transfer and it took about 16 minutes.
