USB ports filled to capacity? Skip the bandwidth saturated bus by using a FireWire enabled thumb drive. OCZ Technologies has created a drive that features both the “A” and “B” plug as well as “800″ flavors of the underused technology. Pricing is not yet known, but we can only speculate it will be similar to its USB counterparts.

    I just googled for “firewire flash drive” and it doesn’t look like it’s a brand-new concept. There are a few online stores that have them.

  2. Don Wilson says:

    Why is USB better than FireWire? USB uses the same exact port for every version, thus allowing for backward compatibility and removes hassle when trying to figure out which type of plug is at the end of the thumbdrive you’re about to purchase.

    Woot! Perfect for my usb 2 lacking mac

    I don’t know much about firewire, I know its supposed to be faster than USB, if that is the case I would recommend not using OCZ, unless you let it cool for a while. My OCZ gets pretty toasty.

  5. Karl says:

    Firewire is definately faster than USB because of lower number of interrupts-calls needed. But IMHO the USB-interface is not the performance-bottleneck of state-of-the-art USB-sticks.

  6. Tom says:

    Those of us who have older Macs with 1.1 that aren’t upgradable to 2 are very happy to see these drives!
