Firewire thumb drives! Finally something to stick in your firewire port!

I just saw this article on Engadget and I instantly agreed with their assessment! I have not used my firewire port in more than 2 years and I don’t think I ever will! And why should I, everything I buy comes with USB and the plug and play is usually a lot easier than with firewire.

But there comes that point where you just run out of USB ports! And that’s a royal pain in the butt!! I love my USB ports and I can’t seem to get enough of them (1 for my mouse, 1 for my keyboard, 1 for my external HD, 1 for a scanner, 1 for a printer)!!!

So instead of having to disconnect your favorite USB items, OCZ is coming out with a pair of Rally 2 firewire drives, one 4-pin and one 6-pin. And the best thing is that it’s faster than USB 2.0, so clean out your firewire ports and get these!

No pricing yet, but hopefully it won’t kill any one’s personal budgets!
