Customer Reviews

Works Great! Better flexibility than daisy-chaining!
I've had this hub for 2 years and have had no problems with it. I make use of the external power supply, because two of my drives are portables and need to draw power from the hub. I've had up to 4 drives and a scanner connected at once with no issues. One might ask why use a hub, why not daisy-chain the devices? When daisy-chaining, all the devices need to be turned on all the time. Turn off a device and everything past that point in the chain is disconnected. Having a hub allows me to turn on only those drives I need at the moment, in any order I choose, which is very convenient.

Excellent
I've just bought this from Amazon. It is working very well, allowing me to use multiple firewire devices on my Mac at the same time. No more plugging and unplugging for me! Wish I'd had this a long time ago.

Hub powers down - NO MORE BELKIN
I bought this so I could connect my Mac iSight and external hard drive to my Mac Mini. However after 24 hours the hub failed. I found out (after returning one and re-ordering a replacement and the replacement was no better) by switching the power of at the wall then back on all was well for different times ranging from 24 hours to 7 days! So I have now returned the second one and am looking for a better hub! NOT A BELKIN!
