It's an external USB or FireWire drive. This is a hard drive that connects to your PC via either a USB 2.0 or a FireWire connection. You plug it in and it plays.
IEEE-1394 interface (FireWire)
A very fast external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps (400 million bits per second). Products supporting the 1394 standard go under different names, depending on the company.
In addition to USB2, the Extreme models also sport eSATA and Firewire 400 ports for the maximum flexibility in connectability.
You had a USB cable, a card reader-maybe USB or FireWire-and you were done. Images could move from camera to computer fast and easy. Times have changed, and now DSLRs can connect to TVs, projectors, computers and other devices.
USB and Firewire are the new, easier methods of connection. Firewire is more popular on MAC platforms and is the fastest system, but also currently the least popular.
One step up from USB is FireWire (IEEE1394) seen mostly on professional digital cameras, this offers considerably faster transfer rates but requires that your computer has a FireWire connector or you're willing to fit it out with FireWire.
Some digital photo frames provide a USB, Ethernet or FireWire connection to retrieve images from your computer.
Media clips can be dragged and dropped, imported or captured in real time from a FireWire DV camera, then freely arranged in the workspace to make movies.
Interface with the Epson 2200 is either USB or Firewire. There's also parallel connection available but forget that. I initially hooked mine up via one of my Firewire ports but decided to go to USB.
With the introduction of eSATA and a fifth drive bay, as well as enhancements to FireWire 800 throughput, the Drobo S has a 50% increase in performance over the four-bay Drobo.
FYI, if you are working with a laptop that has a 4 pin FireWire port, buy a 4 pin to 4 pin FireWire cable. DO NOT use the Canon supplied 4 pin to 6 pin cable with a 6 pin to 4 pin adapter.
A distinct advantage of USB and Firewire is that they offer "hot swappable" connectivity, which means you don't have to switch off your computer or camera before making a connection between the two.
I've recommended WD's MyBook and MyPassport external drives to a number of people, but I've always discussed the USB or USB/Firewire versions and never the World Edition NAS, because it's not a model I had any experience with until now.

You can save your images, music, important files, and even digital movies on a drive that is lightweight and portable, and hooks up easily to a computer via a USB or firewire port.
Many digital cameras and memory card readers connect to a computer via USB ports. USB card readers are typically faster than cameras or readers that connect to a serial port, but slower than those that connect via FireWire.
also are important since you are storing these files on an electronic device, which have been known to break for unexplained reasons. A good way to back up large numbers of files digitally is with an external hard drive, either USB 2.0 or Firewire.
The "PC" stands for "Prontor/Compur" (two early camera shutter manufacturers) and not "personal computer." PC connectors are not data connectors for computers or anything - they have nothing to do with USB or FireWire.
