 * Storage devices, especially portable ones are being radically transformed by the adoption of FireWire. Not only does FireWire permit an external hard disk drive to be mounted by simply connecting a single plug, it can even provide enough electricity to power the drive. FireWire mass storage devices include hard disk drives, magneto- optical drives, high-capacity removable drives, tape drives, and CD/DVD products, including both read-only and read/write drives. Set-top boxes, personal video recorders (PVR's), game consoles, home stereo equipment, DVD players, digital TVs, interactive TVs, and computers all have a need to communicate using a common plug-and-play, high-speed interconnection that is capable of efficiently transmitting video, audio, graphics, and Internet data. More and more of these devices are already available with FireWire ports, so they can easily be integrated into the modern home entertainment system. Firewires are interfaces that allow for a better performance of your computers. With a firewire (also known as an [|IEEE1394]) a computer can transfer data at higher rates. **
