The Firewire audio cards are designed to interface with this very fast type of connection to reduce latency periods due to communications between the audio card, PC, and software to imperceptible thresholds. However, it should be noted that this type of connection was very fast at the time of simple USB. With the advent of USB 3 data transmission, the Firewire protocol has been surpassed.

If you have a PC that does not support USB 3 connection, the Firewire port remains the fastest data transmission method. Finally, almost all Firewire cards work just fine with the USB connection as well.
