[QUOTE="Macman, post: 66188, member: 7132"] I just bought a 160 gb lacie hd extreme triple interface, I am connecting it to my mac via firewire. I also bought an external lacie superdrive, firewire also. I only have 2 firewire ports on my mac. I know the external superdrive HAS TO BE connected directly to the mac, so tomorrow Im buying a firewire hub, a 6 port, cause I have the hd, superdrive, and ipod to connect via firewire, as opposed to switching them out when needed. my question is: 1. Is it ok to connect the external hd through a firewire hub? 2. will this slow down my transfer speeds? 3. is it ok for the ipod to be connected through this hub also? 4. will doing #3 slow down ipod transfers between the ipod and external/internal hd?
