    Firewire 800

    Anyone still use Firewire 800? I went through my storage (spring cleaning) and found 2 really nice Firewire 800 4 bay Hotswapable Drive Towers that I used back when I worked on Apple / Mac systems. I have no use for them because I no longer work on Apple / Mac systems and was wondering if they were worth trying to resell or just send them to the recycle center?

    I am guessing by the lack of comments that Firewire 800 is not used anymore. It is clearly faster than USB2 but not USB3 and USB3 being the standard now I guess Firewire 800 is no longer desired.

      Not really. I've used 400 for DV cams and Mac repairs though. I'd try to sell them as they seem pretty nice an unique.

        They also support RAID so they may still have some value. I guess I will list them along with the 12 hard drives that come with them and see if I get anything for them.

          I'd wager there is some mac lover who would just "have" to have them... or a multimedia/av person (as firewire 800 was common there too, as are macs).
