Thickness of firewire cables? - 07/12/10 07:10 AM
My G-Drive mini came with a (proprietary) nice, but thin (1/8" thick, including shielding), firewire 400 cable a bit more than 24" long, and, by way of example, when I recently used it to do a file-level clone of a 115Gb volume, 110Gb of which was Apple lossless music files, my transfer speed was a bit more than 1.5Gb/minute.
I'm wondering whether that's a reasonable transfer speed, or could I get a substantial boost with a thicker cable?
If so, is anybody aware of a less expensive ($8.95 + $7.00 shipping) alternative to this "Short FireWire Cable (12")"...the only short one I could find?
Thanks.
