a [|high-performance interface] which allows for the connection peripherals such as [|modems], printers,and mass storage devices. FireWire is a method of transferring information between digital devices, most commonly audio and video equipment. Also known as IEEE 1394, FireWire is fast -- the latest version achieves speeds up to [|800 Mbps]. At some time in the future, that number is expected to jump to an unbelievable 3.2 Gbps when manufacturers overhaul the current FireWire cables. Originally created by Apple and standardized in 1995 as the specification **IEEE 1394 High Performance Serial Bus **, FireWire is very similar to [|Universal Serial Bus](USB). The whole purpose of a firewire is to have fast transfer of data, put lots of devices on the bus, ease of use, hot-pluggable ability, provision of power through the cable, plug-and-play performance, low cabling cost, and low implementation cost. It's sole purpose was to essentially to replace [|SCSI]. The fie wire also outperformed the [|USB 2.0]. The fire wire will soon be obsolete with the forthcoming of the [|USB 3.0]
