First I'm doing this off my iPod so I can't tell if there is a top comment explaining FireWire. It was created before USB it is used to transfer data really fast made by Apple and its name is own by them. Microsoft saw its capabilities and made there own with a different name since Apple wouldn't allow the name to be used by them (copyright laws). In short it's a type of USB idk if it's faster or not.
