Just to review - I have about 3 devices in a FW400 hub (granite digital) and two drives (hot swap granite digital) daisy chained into the 800 port. Do the drives run at 800 or 400? (Actually, the drive cases are IDE, so it's probably only a marginal performance increment to the 400 drives.) I wonder if you can get SATA in an 800 Firewire case?
