Does this scanner really have a FireWire (IEEE1394) port?

I don't think so. My husband just went to look at it and found only a USB-B.

The output of this camera is on IEEE1394 (firewire). It should be compatible with any computer that has a compatible IEEE1394 input or can have an input card installed into it.

The ports are for 6 pin firewire and it works just great. I used mine every day for over a month in studio, recording from HD video camera direct to computer SSD with no issues.

I have not used it for that purpose before. The standard connection it comes with is a USB 3.0 cable which is faster than firewire. If you have a USB 3.0 connection on your computer than great, if not it will still connect via a USB 2.0 connection but will not have the faster performance.

Yes, at least mine were using Firewire. This one also has Firewire and a USB 3.0 port, while earlier models do not. That worked out great for connecting USB 3.0 to a new 5k iMac, which is faster than FW anyway; but my older ones cannot as the 5k iMac has no Firewire port.

There's a standard USB socket on the tail end of the scanner. You can fit your own cables to this socket. None are provided with the scanner.

It does have firewire 800 so that was good. I have not upgraded to Lion so I cannot answer if it works with Lion, but you could contact WD and they would tell you.

This scanner has a single USB 2.0 plug to a Micro USB plug cable. Although there is usually more than one USB port available to use on your PC, there is only one Micro USB plug output on the scanner. I am sure that there is either a splitter cable, or a USB Hub that can take the signal from the scanner and send it to two different USB 2.0 ports on two separate PC's. Research Splitter cables and/or hubs to see if this is possible. Hope this helps!

To answer the question, no. The model I have, has 2-800 firewire ports and 1-USB3 port. The other picture which is confusing is not the one that I received. It has an esata port, 2-800 firewire ports and 1-USB2 port. Neither one has a Thunderbolt Port. This is the one with Thunderbolt...

USB is v3. Firewire is also an option that is built in. I have used this scanner to scan B/W's in medium format (negative to print) from the 70's and 80's and chromes (slides) from my combat tours of Vietnam. It is slick! It is very good at automatic but can be fine tuned for more critical needs in the Pro settings. Extremely versatile and has been a godsend for me in preserving my history.

No it does not but it is a great MB. It doesn't have a FireWire port either.

Hi, thanks for your email, yes if your Mac has Firewire port. Take care, Norman.

Whatever the older port is (which I think is firewire - the newer is USB, right) well, I gave up trying to adapt it to my new laptop and don't use it for my youtube postings anymore.

Probably not. FireWire is either 400 or 800 Kbps, and both thunderbolt and USB 3 are faster.

K. Meagher, A FireWire port is not currently a standard feature for this configuration. However, the system is easily expandable, allowing you to add such functionality.

yes there is a firewire port. and yes it is compatible. I owned a GL2 believe it to be about the same specs as GL1 but do more research before purchasing.

I am sure it must be. Actually I use Firewire so the question does not arise.
