When looking for an audio input card of any sort for a Mac Mini should i look for a USB 2 device or a Firewire device? Frankly i'm not sure if there is much of a difference or which is faster.
Thanks -------------------- |

firewire 400 is considerably faster than USB 2.0 on the surface it appears that USB 2.0 is faster but I can assure you it isn't
400 in actuallity is way faster and the cpu on a firewire divice is alot lower than USB 2.0 and thats a big difference.. I would always go for a Firewire device over USB anyday. I cant remeber the sites I read this on but if you do a web search you will find this has been tested by pros many times and is born out in their results |
