Firewire is a name for IEEE standard 1394, which I believe is a High-speed serial link, like USB 2. It runs at 400MB/s (usb 2 does 480). Lots of video cameras support this standard. If you haver a DV camera, it is a fast and easy way to upload video. You can also get things like external firewire harddrives.

My A7V333, now my nieces A7V333 did not support firewire, but I seem to recall the raid version might support it.

Not 400MB/s... 400Mb/s
B means Byte, and b means bit...
the difference?

8 bit = 1 Byte....

So, 400Mb/s = 50MB/s
