another con for USB is the physical architecture. The designers obviously failed leverage theory - Every computer / laptop I own has at least one USB port that has been pried / damaged from common use. Got a flash-drive in your computer? Don't drop a peanut on it...
But that's just a personal rant. -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

In addition to what has already been said...
Latency and bandwidth are only some of the issues. FW is dedicated to audio and video and streams data in both directions and is full duplex. USB does not stream audio but sends it as discrete packets. A consequence of this is that FW does not have the synchnronisation issues that USB has and is also much less like to have conflicts with other devices or services on your computer. FW also uses its own bus controller whereas USB relies on the computer's cpu. So if your computer is struggling FW may cause fewer issues. The downside of FW is that it is now pretty much a legacy device as very few new pcs have FW as standard. If you use FW you need to use a FW card that has a Texas chopset in your computer. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
