I can't say anything about firewire as I only have one firewire drive
and I understand that if the drive itself doesn't contain the
circuitry to sleep, they will not do so on their own, but this is
only what I recall reading somewhere. As far as usb, they should
sleep and the only way to determine if your having the same issue as
I am, you would need to connect each device individually without any
hubs and determine if they are sleeping etc. If they do, then you
should bring that to Apple's attention.

I have 2 Belkin hubs with 4 USB 2 Ports & 2 FireWire Ports Each. My
printers do not go to sleep as does not my scanner. The problem is,
neither does my 3rd 120gb Fantom HD which is plugged into Fantom HD #2
which is plugged into Fantom HD #1; all with 120gb's of space. Could
not resolve this problem either [gave up trying]. Drives 1 & 2 sleep
although Drive 3 does not. Perhaps because I am splitting up the
USB/FireWire hubs into too many? Belkin Hub #2 is plugged into Belkin
Hub #1. Thanks for listening.
