There is absolutely no reason to put your interface on usb just because you have 2 drives on firewire.
I run an 828mkII and 2 drives on firewire with absolutely zero problems.
Firewire has FAR bigger bandwidth than usb and can stream several hundred channels simultaneously with no problem.

Well I read this topic because the subject header got the better of me. Wish I could help, if I could I would but the only MOTU gear I have is 4 of their MIDI interfaces. I know how frustrating it can be trying to gather information for something and coming up empty but I also know that searching for that information can lead to a lot of unexpected learning as well.
Can a store not assist you with this experiment? Regardless, good luck with your quest

I'll tell you what: first of all, Firewire interfaces from both RME and Motu certainly have higher actual latency at equivalent buffer sizes because of the additional "safety buffer" they -have- to add for the Firewire driver. I've read user reports that Babyface works fine with a 32 samples buffer on Mac with Logic Pro. I wouldn't count on 32 samples buffer being completely dependable with -any- interface, and there are sometimes problems with the hosts, plugins, etc. with that latency. That said, RME put a lot of work into their USB drivers for Babyface, UC and UFX, and users report excellent reliability (wasn't that expected? it's RME). Between those choices, I recommend that you get Babyface. There are no "bandwidth issues" either (it's USB 2..), the drivers are better than everyone else's and the overall quality is excellent.

I don't have a MAC or a Motu interface but I have been eyeballing the microbook 2.. the hybrid looks nice but out of my price range. Hope you finally get the numbers you desire.. frustrating it must be.
Almost would be tempted to go to a music store where they have demo MAC displays and ask them to install one just to see

I wouldn't say harsh - just a classic example of a w&%ker being made a moderator and thinking that makes them able to hold their sword in the air and shout 'by the powers of grayskull'ttoz wrote: most people at gearslutz agree the admin was a little, um, er, harsh

If that is the sort of support that I am going to get, I am staying well away from Motu!
