A technology similar to USB:

It comes in two versions...

Firewire 400 (IE1394a)

400 MB/second

and

Firewire 800 (IE1394b)

800 MB/Second

Firewire is used mainly for transferring large amounts of data, such as digital video and/or sound.

Firewire is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for music recording and production, particularly Firewire800.
