IEEE 1394b/a 1394b (FireWire 800) ?with its higher bandwidth up to 800 Mbps, longer distances and much higher-powered bus ?is more suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like digital video (DV), professional audio, hard drives, which often consume hundreds or even thousands of megabytes of data per file. With backwards compatibility with 1394a, this motherboard provides 1 x 1394a and 2 x 1394b ports.
