I want a FW 800 hub that I can plug FW 400 devices (using 9 > 6 cable) into without slowing the FW 800 devices down. Am I dreaming?

Firewire 800 RAIDs - Warning! Warning! Warning!

I had big problems with a Firewire 800 RAID. I think there are big problems with Firewire 800... I'm just not sure if it is a hardware or software problem. Drives on the Firewire 800 bus seem to unexpectedly drop off the bus.

I detail my eperience here: http://samv.customer.netspace.net.au/fwproblem/ I ended up ditching Firwire 800 and put the drives in my PowerMac G4 Dual 1GHz. I'm using RAID for Final Cut Pro editing - I don't trust Firewire 800 yet.

Mac OS 10.3.3 update *might* fix this.
