That's no faster than the hi-speed USB device directly connected to a 2.0 on board port.  It's actually slower with theoretical speeds of 12, 24 or 49MBytes per second (S100, S200, and S400 respectively).

Firewire does have the advantage of more consistent performance, though, since it is peer-to-peer rather than client-server like USB.

Another solid-state option:

Here is one that is even cheaper.  Made for a desktop PC.  :cheers: Scroll down to the products list.

The adapter is certainly priced right.
