Hey guys,
So, I have an external HDD enclosure with 2 firewire ports and 1 USB2.0 port. I have the USB cable connected from the USB2.0 port to my Wii.
I also have a firewire cable (1394) connected to the back of my PC.
The firewire connection is only active if the USB2.0 connection isn't (Wii is turned off).
However, when I transfer files from the HDD to my computer or vice-versa, it's slower than if I connected the USB cable to my PC instead. In some cases, the file transfer progress pretty much freezes.
According to this:

Firewire is supposed to be superior.
Any ideas?
I have a Vantec NexStar 3 3.5" HDD enclosure (1x USB2.0, 2x 1394 firewire)
Thanks!
