do they make internal ones for the back of your computer? I'd like one with like 5+ usb ports on the back of my computer. And really, do people use firewire anymore? I'm going to get a media reader for my new computer so I can read all the different types of memory cards I have and all of them have firewire, is firewire supposed to be faster then USB or something? I assume they could have just made them USB.
psyduck;
Firewire is used a lot for video cameras. Transfer speeds of Firewire 800>USB by a long shot.

I just take out the memory stick and plug it in but my new camera uses something different. Saves precious battery life.
Everyone who has USB hubs here have external ones huh

Back to Newegg.
I just finished a lot of work around my house so I'm closer to getting my computer ^__^
Yeah, I'm sure you could find something like that that just goes into a PCI slot.
And yes people use FireWire... it's much faster than USB, and really there's no point in not using it for external drives and video cameras, among other things.

They had USB cables back then too, and nifty two-in-one cables, which I still have one of... however, iTunes no longer recognizes iPods connected via FireWire. poppy;
FireWire is fast.

Bad idea Apple, 160gbs takes forever to fill with USB. My 20gb took a long time too psyduck;

Fortunately there are very few people who have 160gb of media to put on their shiny new 160gb's right off the bat, and even if they do, they'd only be doing it once, and just updating after that.

Yeah, I thought of that too but it'd piss me off if I bought one of those and couldn't use it because it'd be transferring the whole night. I have 80gbs of music and around 30gbs of video (video I'd want to put on it too, music videos specifically, stuff I can watch over and over and still enjoy)
Also does iTunes have a converter for videos yet? If it does I'd so use it on my PSP caterpie;

I wouldn't know, don't spend all my time looking up iPod specs powerofone;
Whateva, if I ever get a huge hard drive on a MP3 player like Snorkel said, I'd probably fill it op only once and add new albums every once and a while.
