Re: AW: RME PCI cardbus vs Firewire

I don't know how true this is, but I was told that USB
2 is indeed faster for smaller bursts of information,
but not as good for long streams of data like audio or
video which is why all pro video DV gear uses Firwire
and you don't find many USB2 audio interfaces.
