That's the raw data rate, not the actual throughput.  I have done tests with USB2 (480kbps) and Firewire (400kbps), and the nominally faster USB2 
takes longer to copy a given file than Firewire (all else being equal).

And of course there's Gigabit ethernet - I have a Lacie "Ethernet Mini Disk" which has a gigabit interface and a USB2 interface too - I'll try the 
experiment both ways when I get some time.
