Okay, I think I'm getting it. It's not that USB2 and above are faster than FireWire 400, it's that the adapter doesn't that that throughput. Light bulb goes on. :) So no matter what the speed of the USB port is, even the USB 3 family, it's that the adaptor isn't giving it the data at its spec'd out ...

Thank you Darrin, I just now saw the notification about my post here. Yesterday I submitted another post asking about a different route.- using an external firewire enclosure. I've seen some that are firewire 400 to USB-C.There were also cheap firewire 400 to fireware 800 adapters.- if that's what t...

Why does ThunderBolt have to enter the picture - Isn't USB-C is already faster than FireWire 400? Are there successful solutions that involve taking the PCIe card out of the old PC and putting it an external enclosure with the FireWire 400 back to the Flex 3K and the enclosure's USB-C (not ThunderBo...

I understand the adapter dance - going from FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 to ThunderBolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3. But once there, can I plug that Thunderbolt 3 connection into a regular USB-C port? I believe USB-C is faster than FireWire 400 so transfer speed shouldn't be an issue. I thought the cables fo...

Is a thunderbolt port on the PC really necessary? My thinking is - the reason FireWire was used on the Flex 3K was it was the fastest transfer rate at the time. So if I had a connection that transferred data that fast, or faster, it would be fine. I understand the adapter dance = Fireware 400 to 800...
