About FireWire (IEEE-1394)
FireWire was invented by Apple Computer in the early 1990s and was adopted by the
IEEE as a standard (IEEE 1394) in 1995 as a cross-platform high-speed serial technology that
can move large amounts of data between computers and peripheral devices. It features
simplified cabling, hot swapping, and transfer speeds of up to 400 megabits per second.
FireWire is one of the fastest peripheral standards ever developed, which makes it great
for use with multimedia peripherals such as video camcorders and other
high-speed devices like the latest hard disk drives, cd-recorders, scanners, and
printers.
More information, along with the latest MacOS drivers for FireWire can always be found at

IMPORTANT: if your drive is delivered under hot or cold conditions,
please allow the drive to reach room temperature before operating to
prevent damage.
