Theoretical bandwidth on USB2.0 is higher than standard firewire 
(480Mbps vs 400Mbps). I doubt they expect you to have a Firewire2 drive 
and also I am sure their system has USB2 if the machine is more or less 
new. At any rate, find out and let me know. Mind me asking what kind of 
music you guys are recording? Good luck!
