A FireWire slot is a type of interface used for high-speed data transfer between devices, such as computers and peripherals like cameras and external hard drives. Developed by Apple in the 1990s, FireWire supports data transfer rates of up to 800 Mbps, depending on the version (FireWire 400 or FireWire 800). It allows for daisy-chaining multiple devices and provides power to connected devices, making it a versatile option for multimedia applications. However, it has largely been replaced by USB and Thunderbolt technologies in recent years.
