While IEEE 1394/Firewire is a popular and proven standard familiar to many system designers, there is still the potential to make design errors that can compromise performance. Here are some tips for avoiding such problems
IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, has become a standard of choice for storage applications. FireWire is a popular and proven standard, and while it is familiar to many system designers, there is still the potential to make design errors that can compromise performance.
First, a look at the three significant market segments for external FireWire/1394 hard drives. The most common is external storage for computers. These drives are used to provide additional storage for computers, for use in transferring data between computers or for making backups.
