Can I throw away my Firewire cables?
Can I throw away my Firewire cables?
Can I assume that Firewire is dead? Can I just throw away these old cables or can they be repurposed? I have no hardware that is compatible.
FireWire was faster than USB back at one point.. It's pretty much been obsoleted though.
I still have an old DV Sony Digital videocam that only had FireWire output... I used it to convert videos to digital format at some point, but haven't touched in in 5+ years.
I think there is even a way to convert old VHS by hooking it up through a camcorder (to be used as analog to digital converter), and then to a PC with Firewire...
If you don't have a use for it, and don't like tinkering with electronics and soldering irons, it is pretty safe to just toss them I guess.
