IrDA data transfer between your desktop PC and any IrDA-ready product is instant. Simply point to each other and start transferring ! There is no need to go through the time-consuming chore of locating your PC link cable, shut down your PC, connect cable to the back of your computer, turn on your PC, and wait till it finishes the boot-up cycle…. etc. And most importantly, there is no sacrifice in performance — The Infrared Drive’s transfer speed, with the standard IR cable or Individually-pinned IR Cable, is already at 115.2kbps which is the maximum serial cable transfer speed. If your motherboard provides support for 4 Mbps FIR (Fast Infrared), the Infrared Drive can deliver up to 4Mbps data transfer speed with the use of the optional FIR cable.
