Introduction
Product Description
FireWire is an exciting new technology for connecting high speed serial
devices to CPU’s. VST’s FireWire Hard Drives are the most convenient, effi-
cient and portable storage products you have ever used. They are fast,
lightweight, thin, simple to connect and use and very portable. The thin
FireWire Hard Drives are conveniently powered from the FireWire Bus, so
no external power supply is required. An AC Power Adapter is included
with the Full Height FireWire Hard Drives.
FireWire Features, Advantages and Benefits
FireWire is much easier to use – it is hot-pluggable, allowing you to plug a
device into the CPU and not have to reboot the machine.
The device drivers are loaded automatically, there are no bulky cables, ter-
minators or SCSI ID switches to set. You can move a drive from one machine
to the other and just plug in. You can store your full backup on a drive and
take it from machine to machine.
