FireWire devices can transfer data between themselves directly without the need for a computer host. FireWire supports fewer devices connected together (63, vs. 127 for USB).
One can purchase an external USB firewire hard drive in electrical appliances stores such as Radioshack. In addition, Amazon or eBay will have external USB firewire hard drives.
