☛ Power consumption of both ports will be different. In case of videos, it will cause loss of frames. If, let’s say, you’re trying to send data from a FireWire port to a USB port, the difference in speeds will result in loss of data.
The only way the data transfer could work is if you’re using USB 2 or 3, for the relavite FireWire port. FireWire needs a processor on both sides of the data transfer. Long story short, FireWire works at a constant (and fast) rate, while USB sends data in bursts. USBs work on an ACK/NAK protocol, while FireWire uses a DMA transfer protocol. ☛ Both methods use not only different hardware, but different software as well. The answer is largely no, for the following reasons: The USB standard has nearly wiped out the need for serial and parallel ports. USB ports provide power to the device connected to them, so an external power supply is not needed to power the device, while it is being used. The concept of plug-and-play is due to the USB specification. It is a standard used to connect peripherals to a computer. Other companies such as Sony and Texas Instruments have their own brand of the 1394 interface, named i.Link and Lynx respectively. As a standard, 1394 was developed in 1986 by Apple, who gave it the brand name “FireWire”. A FireWire connection has the same purpose as a USB connection: it connects 1 device to another, and allows for real-time data transfer. The official classification name for FireWire is IEEE 1394 interface. So what is a FireWire port, and what is the difference between it and a USB port? Once you are savvy with the real deal, the most obvious question is whether you can you convert FireWire to USB! To find out the answers to these questions, read on for an in-depth look at these two port specifications. Just plug your device in to the port, and… wait a minute, the plug will not fit into the port! This might happen, if you are trying to connect a device with a FireWire plug, to your computer’s USB port. How do you connect a device to your computer? Through ports, of course.
