There’s a huge ecosystem of FireWire 800 devices so support for them is still very much required. USB 3.0 however completely obliterates FireWire 800 and, as such, the latter’s now fast becoming a legacy connection. Compared to someone who is doing a constant 30MPH, they’ll be much slower reaching the finish line. Imagine if someone was driving 50MPH for a few seconds then stopping, then 50MPH and stopping again. FireWire 800 is a constant rate - it constantly sends data at 800Mbit/sec. It sends a lot of data at its highest speed before stalling and then repeating it again. But because the modern iPod has a USB connector, it makes a dandy. USB’s transfer rate is know as a burst rate. Note: If both Macs have Apple's FireWire 800 jacks, use a 9-pin FireWire cable instead. If USB 2.0 was 480Mbits/sec and FireWire 800 was 800Mbits/sec, then surely that would make FireWire 800 just under twice as fast? Actually, FireWire is a lot faster than USB 2.0. You wont find Firewire ports on any contemporary Apple devices. LaCie are a popular manufacturer of FireWire 800 storage devices Back in the day it works at 800MB/s while USB 2.0 works at 480Mb/s. USB 3.0 cables are noticeably different and you can generally tell if a device is USB 3.0 simply by the blue USB connector it will have. Your printer or keyboard will work in exactly the same way. Not only can you use a USB 2.0 device with a USB 3.0 Mac but a USB 3.0 hard drive will even work with a USB 2.0 Mac. USB 3.0 is still just as versatile and fully backwards-compatible with older USB devices. Presumably, daisy chaining these two cables should work. As does an Apple USB to USB-C adaptor cable. A mini-B to USB 2.0 cable adaptor does exist. Some USB 2.0 drives come with a second USB cable that simply has an power connector on the other end if your Mac can’t provide enough power to the drive. What will work appears to be this: My backup, as it turns out, has another port (which I did not recognize) in addition to its two Firewire 800 ports, i.e. It can also provide more power to devices. Currently, it’s only missing from the Mac Pro. FireWire also has an advantage of charging the device it is connected to while the transfer is still on-going. It first appeared on Macs in 2012 when Apple introduced the new Retina MacBook Pro and updated MacBook Air range.

USB 3.0 theoretically tops out at 5Gbits/sec - around 10 times quicker. USB 2.0 can top out at a theoretical 480Mbits/sec. USB 3.0 is a huge improvement over USB 2.0 as it’s much, much faster.
