 Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 7:12 pm Post subject: Firewire among PC users? |
 |
|
I wonder how many PC users use external firewire hard drives. A lot of Mac users have Firewire built-in. Do a great many PC motherboards have firewire built-in? When I built my own PCs it wasn't available on motherboards. I know one can buy a Firewire PCI card (I did when I used PCs), but I just wonder how prevalent it is among PC users here, especially on this board. I'm just wondering.
I'm a Mac user. I use up all my USB and Firewire ports for external drives because I need the external space. |

| Some motherboards have firewire. Some don't. Mine didn't so I just got a 20,000 won PCI card. No problem. |
