Yes USB2 is 480mbs as compared to Firewire400's 400mbs...That is a difference of 80mbs... The catch is that USB2 sucks a considerably higher amount of system resources as compared to Firewire...Hence, making it far less stable...As well as taking a considerable amount of performance from the system's CPU, RAM, etc... Don't believe me(?)....Research it...Or worse yet, try it... All and all USB is for mice, keyboards, etc...And NOT pro multi-track audio... One to four tracks at a time...Maybe... USB SUCKS (In a literal sense) Although all this being said...MOTU was just offering what people (And only God knows why) were asking for... And i give the company a thumbs up for making that offer yet keeping the "old" and far superior Firewire 828MKII... 'nough said... My rant is over...lol All the best....Barry ';o) PS: The RME Fireface is the only true Firewire 800 interface I know of... My recommendation...? Metric-Halo all the way...Well worth the extra $... Although MOTU is the best bang for the buck... This post has been edited by bls2112: Mon 27 Mar 2006, 18:27
