I have my Fireface UC on it's own usb port, the hard drive with all my audio files is using the FW800 port(it's where I record to as well), then I have the hub plugged into one of the usb ports. On the hub I plugged it the iLok(for things like Soundtoys), external keyboard, mouse, and another hard drive for periodic backup purposes. So my non critical accessories are plugged into the powered hub.
