Why Firewire?
The introduction of both USB and Firewire interfaces has made a significant impact to the PC and Mac World. In the storage arena, it has benefited from the easy plug and play feature. For the data storage tower market, firewire interface has become a quick solution because of the faster data transfer rate. While many customers have tempted to create an USB interface storage tower because of the low cost comparison, firewire interface should be the only option because of the operation of the bridgeboard.
On USB bridgeboard, it can only be responsible for one IDE device. For example, if one is looking for an 8 bay storage tower, it will need to have at most 8 USB bridgeboards to fill all the slots. The spacing on the tower will not allow this to happen. However, for each firewire bridgeboard, it can control up to two devices. This means that for the very same storage tower, it will only need to have 4 bridgeboards to control all 8 devices. In the industry today, there will very seldom have situations where ODD bay slots tower will be use for storage cases.
