FireWire (technically known as an IEEE 1394 interface), introduced by Apple in 1995, allows a fast connection for peripherals such as video cameras. It is similar to a USB connector. The original version is now known as FireWire 400. FireWire 800 was introduced to give faster transfer speeds and supporting longer cable lengths without loss of signal. The connectors for the 400 and 800 versions are not interchangeable but converters are available which will allow FireWire 400 equipment to be connected to the FireWire 800 port at the slower connection speed.

2x faster
How can one identify a firewire port?
If someone is looking to identify a firewire port, they must look and notice the difference between it and a usb port. Firewire and usb ports are generally meant for the same things: to hook up printers and to transfer information.
