Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) 0.01 Mbps or 10 Kbps
Serial Port 0.23 Mbps or 230 Kbps
Geoport Port 2 Mbps
USB 1.1 at low data transfer rate 1.5 Mbps
USB 1.1 at high data transfer rate 12 Mbps
FireWire 400 400 Mbps
SCSI 1-40 MB/sec
Fast SCSI 8-80 MB/sec
Ultra SCSI-3 18-160 MB/sec
USB 2.0 at high data transfer rate 480 Mbps
FireWire 800 at 800 Mbps 800 Mbps

nope... by skill of it really is totally nature, usb is way slower than firewire. it really is better known. hence the former VHS/Betamax arguements from years in the past. if you're utilizing a USB hub it truly is non-powered, often times those are operating at a million.a million usb ranges, truly than 2.0.

parallel interface is more faster coz it can transfer 500 kb to 2.0mdgabytes and usb can transfer 1.5mb.
