Comment Firewire? (Score 1) 112
My understanding was that there is no such thing as a 'native firewire' hard drive. All the Firewire drives I know of use ATA mechanisms inside. Some have the Oxford 911 bridge chipset which seems to improve transfer speed quite a bit (over the non-Oxford bridge drives.)
Is there such a thing as a 'native firewire' drive?
Can having an ATA controller in a firewire case make it possible to get around the motherboard limitations?
