External serial ATA known as eSATA is up to six times faster than USB or Firewire.
External serial ATA (eSATA) hard drives is up to six times faster than USB or FireWire.
External SATA (eSATA) is up to six times faster than USB or Fire Wire
50-85 Mbps for eSATA vs 25 - 45 Mbps firewire 400 not sure what 800 goes to but eSATA will still be faster it's just like an internal drive. eSATA is up to 6 times faster than external firewire according to the fabulous Guide to managing and maintaining your PC by Jean Andrews
external serial ATA is six times faster
esata is faster, running upto 3GB/s where as FireWire400 (G1) can only run speeds of theoretical 400Mb/s and FireWire800 (G2) theoretical speeds of 800Mb/s
It depends on the serial bit rate versus the parallel strobe cycle time but, in general, a parallel interface is faster than a serial interface. However, modern USB, Firewire, and SATA interfaces are very fast, and might be considered faster.
No. If they were, we wouldn't have replaced them. USB and FireWire are over 3000 times faster with the latest revisions.
"Firewire" is the term used for a certain type of serial port on computers. Similar uses are USB. The Name is 1394 for "FireWire". The term firewire was meant to express that it was a faster connection than standard serial or parallel ports.
Serial printers are connected via the serial (COM) port of the computer. "Non-serial" printers are connected through another interface, such as the parallel port, USB, ADB. FireWire, etc...
Depending on what speed your infrared port is. It is normally faster to use a fire-wire port.

the interface which is used to see the commands in serial communication with external devices in a windows operated PC.
