When you connect a nano
When you connect a nano via a ?FireWire to Dock Connecter? cable it displays a
message that this is a USB only device. It will still charge off the FireWire cable but
no file transfers can be done. If your computer has only the older USB 1.1, the nano
will still sync with iTunes but you are stuck moving files over at an extremely slow
speed.
Amazingly, the nano has no moving parts except the click wheel. This was done by
using flash memory for song storage. Every iPod ever made has had flash memory,
but it was used on most iPods as a data buffer. Song data was pulled from the hard
drive and stored in the buffer for skip protection. However, iPod hard drives are very
slow and can cause delays when loading a song off the drive.
