I use a professional quality Firewire-based audio interface in my work every day. I do 192/24 recording and mixing in stereo and 5.1. USB 2.0 would never be able to handle this. In fact, there is NO professional high resolution audio interface manufactured today that uses USB 2.0, it is too slow and the latency is horrendous.

He was talking about burning a DVD at full speed with USB 2.0 not professional recording and mixing. From personal experience I've never had a problem burning DVDs at full speed with USB2.0 or transferring files to a USB 2.0 hard drive. It's always been just as fast as the drives I had internally. Never had a problem with any of my PCs. And I've used over 50 hard drives and 20 burners the last 11 years. Not that I had USB2.0 eleven years ago.
