Title: Yet another JB3 Question...
Post by: Nick Graham on June 28, 2004, 03:51:24 PM
I always read about the "blazingly" fast transfer speeds from JB3>PC using Firewire...what' the story on USB? Any faster than real time at all?

I checked the wonderful FAQ, and it answered pretty much every other question I had...just no luck on this one.

Absolutely faster than real time. While it doesn't zoom, I've downloaded at somewhere around 100 times faster than real time. 2 Gigs goes through in like a minute.

USB is nowhere near as fast as the firewire though.  Since it's only USB1, I'd say it takes around 25-30 mins to transfer a gig.

I use the USB 1.0 connection.  I can transfer 1 hours of 44.1k WAV in about 15 minutes.

One hour is what, 600 megs or so?  So 25 mins or so for a gig sounds about right.
