Getting Started

What is FireWire?

Defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE), the 1394 High Performance Serial Bus (commonly known as

FireWire) is a standard for connecting devices to your personal

computer.

FireWire is one of the fastest peripheral standards ever developed.

With a capability of operating at up to 400 Mbps, it has 30 times

more bandwidth than USB, and communicates fast enough to transfer

digital video and audio in real time.

Additional Benefits:

!IEEE 1394 and i.LINK™compatible.

!Hot plug capability that allows you to easily connect a new

peripheral without turning off the computer.

!Automatic configuration, no device IDs or terminators.

!Cables are easy to connect, and can be up to 15 feet long.

!Allows connection of up to 63 devices.

FireWire products currently available include the latest hard drives,

CD-RW drives, Digital Video (DV) camcorders, scanners, and

printers. Western Digital’s FireWire PCI Adapter and our FireWire

CardBus PC Card enable you to connect devices like these directly to

your computer or laptop.

Tip: If you need to connect your

high-speed digital

equipment directly to your

laptop computer, look for

Western Digital’s FireWire

CardBus PC Card at your

favorite retailer or the

Western Digital online

store at:

store.westerndigital.com.
