IDE Raid Vs Firewire

Hi Guys

I just wanted everyone’s thoughts on what they think is the best, IDE Raid or firewire?. I am under the impression that firewire is not as fast as IDE Raid at the current time but firewire should be bridging the gap with the release of firewire 2. The advantages and disadvantages of each technlogy would be nice if anyone knew this.

I look forward to hearing your views

Cheers

Martin
