question

To an Expert familiar with the EV drive system with the G-Tech SATA to Firewire Adapter: Would this offer any advantages as compared to using regular SATA Internal drives and using my Odyssey Q drive dock?I have both Firewire 800 and E-Sata Ports on the dock, and have storage cases for the drives, so is this faster or easier - or more reliable - to make changing my storage workflow worthwhile? If you don't KNOW for sure, please don't give me your opinion.Thanks.
Asked by: Dicran
The drives are going to be fastest through the Sata connection, then USB 3. Firewire is just for legacy systems. It is a much slower connection, 800Mb/s max vs 3 or 6GB/s max depending on your sata.

question

Also, judging by the product photos, it would appear that the USB 3.0 output type on the drive is Micro-B, so I'm assuming one end of the included cable is Micro-B. My question is, what type is the other end?
Asked by: Jay
Standard USB
