 I have made another HDD test for those of you who wondered [Why don't you connect those FW800 HDD before the FW400 audio interface?], so, here it is.
I now connected things in following order: PC-FW800 1TB HDD-FW800 2TB HDD-FW400 audio interface.
I have read somewhere long time ago that audio interface should be connected first in your FireWire chain so I obeyed this but it is always good to try a different configuration yourself to see if things improves without gaining any problems.
In this new configuration, disk usage reads 32% and for some reason the CPU usage has been dropped to 44%.
It is slightly slower than when those HDD were connected directly to PC's FW socket (26%) but it's definitely better than 53% when those HDD were chained after my FW400 audio interface.

Thanks for looking!
