My understanding was that there is no such thing as a 'native firewire' hard drive. All the Firewire drives I know of use ATA mechanisms inside. Some have the Oxford 911 bridge chipset which seems to improve transfer speed quite a bit (over the non-Oxford bridge drives.)
Is there such a thing as a 'native firewire' drive?
Can having an ATA controller in a firewire case make it possible to get around the motherboard limitations?
This is not 'bad timing.' It happens to be an honest, eloquent reaction to an actual, horrible event. There's a reason JonKatz has earned 'front page material' status: he's proven himself capable of giving expression to feelings and offering insight to situations.
I found his description very moving and entirely appropriate, considering what useless garbage we can expect from highly paid commentators on TV.
His article was not meant to make sense - it's about being human.
Like, now.
After all, all (!) of the info posted has been shown as either inaccurate, inflammatory, or both.
Plain sloppy journalism is not as irresponsible (rephrehensible) as poor follow-up and lack of accountability.
Come on Slashdot, live up to your mission!
