I've been searching around and haven't come across a good Firewire hub. What are you using for Firewire Hub's and how are they performing?

I think daisy chaining is more popular than using hubs (don't ask me, I'm not an expert)

Thanks HH, although I did check those out; they are FireWire 400, and I'm in the market for the FireWire 800. (Faster for video editing)

I found this one (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/431602-REG/Kramer_VS_30FW_VS30FW_3_Port_FireWire_800_Repeater_Hub.html#features) at B&H Photo. It seems to have pretty good reviews. The NewerTech MiniStack is an external HDD enclosure with some extra FW800 ports. They have two FW800 and one FW400 ports. Truthfully, there aren't that many out there, and they all seem to be pretty expensive. The MiniStack with the FW800 ports adds over $50 to the base models with FW400 only for the empty model.
