Firewire 800 red man reader full#
Using my Lexar USB 2.0 reader is considerably better, but I would judge it takes at least twice as long to down load a full 256 XD card as it does a 256 CF card. I have two Olympus cameras a Stylus 400 and a C60 Zoom, direct transfers from the camera are just terrible. I really can't imagine them coming with such a disappointing technology. The worst for slow read and write, though, is the new Olympus and Fuji XD cards. All of them make direct transfer from the camera look pretty pitiful. I would think an 800 reader would be even better. It is several times faster than the USB 2.0 one. My Lexar Firewire 400 CF reader is a jet, though. It is about 15 to 25% faster than using it on the USB 1.1 port. I've found my Lexar USB 2.0 card reader a disappointment. It supports FireWire 800/400 connectivity on both Windows and MAC.
It offers the highest performance requirement: 45MB/s (+/- buffer) sequential read and write speeds. in my case, I have an extra LACIE drive and I picked up an adapter in Akihabara (i live in Tokyo) you can get an adapter on Amazon. The Extreme FireWire (FW) Reader is a high performance reader which provides a complete digital system/solution for your photography needs. Here is a link to an online calculator to verify the above figures: both of these things are easy enough to find on the inter-webs. No CF card to date comes anywhere near the speed of FW400. So please in future verfiy your facts before posting. It takes two seconds to look something up on the web. Your calculations are wrong, there seems to be so much mis-information on these forums these days. Sustained read speed well beyond Firewire 400, or even 800. With the appropriate cable, the 9-pin port works seamlessly with legacy FireWire devices. FireWire 800 uses a 9-pin connector and is backwards compatible with original 1394 FireWire devices with 6-pin or 4-pin connectors. MegaBYTES per second! Even with older cards that is likley to be a The FireWire 800 port is based on IEEE 1394b and enables a 800 Mbps transfer rate. Per second, Lexar lists a maximum burst read speed of around 16 I think even older cards can deliver data faster than Firewire (or

Of data transfer is not from FW but probably from the cardsįW800 is better for HDs, Scanners, printers and camcorders those The Lexar Professional UDMA FireWire 800 Reader has a unique stackable design and allows for concurrent download of images stored on multiple cards when up to four readers are daisy-chained together. Well FW800 is pretty new, coupled with the fact that the bottleneck
