Every device meant to communicate needs a method of connection. Most rely on USB, but FireWire is a strong alternative and most often used for anyone with the need to move big files and to connect digital camcorders, external hard drives, and other devices that can benefit from the high transfer rates (up to 480 Mbps) supported by the Firewire connection.
