What do we love? FIREWIRE! When? RIGHT NOW!

If I have not mentioned it before now, let me take the opportunity to say:

I LOVE FIREWIRE.

I don’t just like it. I LOVE it. It’s reduced my backup times to practically nothing. 7GB DVD files? Yeah, transfered in 5 minutes.

I have been using the MacAlly PHR-100AC USB 2.0/Firewire external drive enclosures on 250 GB Seagate 7200 Barracudas as my backup drives. One was running USB 2.0 only (due to a misset Master/Slave jumper, which I think causes most of the problems for people upgrading) and one running Firewire 400.

It was really sad to watch the same backup routine finish so much faster using Firewire. Firewire! Firewire! Huzzah, Firewire!

(Did I mention Trip is teething, and my sleep patterns are somewhat disrupted? Probably should have said something about that before.)

(Yes dear, I’m going to sleep now.)
