IEEE 1394 Delay Write Failed KB885464

C

Colon Terminus

Firewire is very poorly implemented in Windows. So much so that it is ill
advised to try and use an external Firewire hard disk enclosure. In most
cases it simply won't work reliably. On Windows based platforms, USB 2.0 is
a much better, more reliable, alternative for external hard disks.

See the following article. Although the article is dated, the anomalies
outlined in the article still exist in all versions of Windows, yes even
XP/SP2.
