........Is this unique to MHLabs ? The popular belief is that the slowest link in the FW chain brings the whole bus down to that speed...... i:e in the above chain, the M I/O would bring down the whole bus to FW400 and the Drive would also communicate at FW400.

Please give details for this.
Thanks
