Firewire ports, also known as IEEE 1394 ports, are a type of high-speed serial bus interface used to connect digital devices such as computers, digital cameras, camcorders, and external hard drives. They are known for their fast data transfer rates and ability to support multiple devices on a single bus.
Firewire ports were developed in the late 1990s and were once widely used for connecting peripherals to computers. However, with the advent of USB and Thunderbolt, Firewire has become less common. Despite this, Firewire ports can still be found on some older devices and are still used in some professional audio and video applications.
