Hitachi DZ-MV580E review

Reviews You'll be driven mad by the lack of Firewire and true high-resolution video. If you're transferring a lot of data, you'll quickly begin to understand why most other camcorders have Firewire ports. When you're used to Firewire, USB 2 is relatively...

Alienware Bot review

Reviews Behind the doors on the bottom panel, you'll find audio jacks, two USB 2.0 ports, and a single FireWire port (complemented by four USB 2.0 inputs and another FireWire connection around back). Alienware's PCs have traditionally commanded high prices...

Compaq Presario SR1729 review

Reviews The SR1729 has the usual set of front-facing line-in, microphone and headphone audio jacks, a FireWire port and two vertically-stacked USB ports, all of which are extremely easy to access. But more usefully there are a further four USB ports at the...

Alienware Area 51m 7700 review

Reviews It's got four USB ports, two FireWire, every card slot you can imagine and a DVI-out for digital video. Two FireWire ports make the Area 51 a good choice for video graphics professionals, or anyone who needs to add some high-speed external storage.

Connect your digital devices

Reviews Below these slots are audio and video ports along with a couple of USB and FireWire ports. FireWire, also referred to as IEEE 1394 and as iLink by Sony, is another popular port for peripherals. Not to be outdone by USB 2.0, FireWire recently...

JVC DR-MV1 review

Reviews Flanking the LCD is a pair of doors that hides a set of A/V inputs with S-Video and additional playback controls, plus a FireWire input. On the front you'll find a set of A/V inputs with S-Video and FireWire inputs for a camcorder.

Apple Cinema HD Display (23-inch) review

Reviews As you contemplate the Cinema HD Display's pristine beauty, you'll notice small, elegant details, such as the oval cable pass-through ringed with white plastic; the single white cord, which meets the glossy white power brick and splits into signal...

Alienware Area-51 7500 review

JVC Everio GZ-MG20 review

Reviews The obfuscated editing process and absence of FireWire won't impress those who use Premier or Final Cut Pro. JVC bundles a USB cable with the MG50, but if you're transferring a lot of footage, you'll miss FireWire.

Toshiba Portégé S100 review

Reviews There's also an unpowered (four-pin) FireWire port that will connect to almost any MiniDV camcorder and transfer footage. The use of an unpowered four-pin FireWire port (rather than a powered six-pin port) means that any external FireWire devices...

Apple Mac Pro review

Reviews The latter particularly benefits designers who move their work between machines via external hard drives, since the faster, easy-to-access FireWire 800 input can transmit data quicker than USB 2.0 or standard FireWire 400.
