🔥 FireWire (IEEE 1394): A High-Speed Data Transfer Legacy

                                                                                                 Introduction FireWire, officially known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial bus interface standard for real-time data transfer. Developed in the late 1980s and commercialized in the 1990s—primarily by Apple Inc.—FireWire was engineered to offer a faster and more robust alternative to traditional data transfer protocols like USB 1.1 and SCSI. It quickly gained traction in multimedia production environments and high-performance data applications. Technical Overview FireWire supports peer-to-peer architecture, allowing devices to communicate without the need for a host computer. This distinguishes it from...
