highly recommended

Exactly what I wanted and for a nice price too!

This functions perfectly and was a nice, low price. No quality was compromised here - I've had it for months and haven't had a single problem. I can't imagine why anyone would buy a firewire hub that was more expensive than this, unless it was a Superman one like my USB hub! But this one looks modern and fits in with my stylish decor. Highly recommended!

great product

It works as it should right out of the package. I got an external G-Drive HD, old firewire iPod, and video cam connected to it, and everything is connected to the iMac. Everything works fine.

Noisy for firewire audio interfaces

The device works as advertised but is better suited for hard drives than audio interfaces. The audio never cut out, but the noise level probably increased 300-500%. Even without playback and the volume quite low there is an obvious hissing sound. It sounds almost exactly like playing an audio tape. There were no other devices on the hub except a Presonus Firebox. I tried several ports and several cables to no avail.

I'm giving it 3/5 stars because I had intended to use it for Firewire audio + Firewire hard drive with my Mac mini. But I'm sure it's great with firewire drives.

Works fine

I've owned this for about a month now and no problems. Works with several disk drives. Even run my video a/d converter through it, and works fine. Like many reviewers, I remember the days when FW routers would screw up devices, but this has worked very well. I'm a happy camper

works well

I have been using two of these hubs on Macs for several months, with a pile of Firewire hard drives. They work well; I have had no problems.
