Compact but confusing, FireWire portion is weak or...

Strengths: Positive points: compact, smooth & clean appearance, FireWire + USB in one box, activity lights. Can stand on edge or side.

Weakness: Negative points: activity lights not functioning for connected FireWire devices, FireWire drive does not alway mount, confusing product claims (see comments below), front ports location is awkward.

Product literature says "USB 2.0 4 up/downsteam ports" and "FireWire Provides three up/downstream ports" . What you actually see are: 4 USB type A ports, 1 USB type B port, and 3 FireWire 400 6-pin ports. While FireWire is designed for "up and downstream" connections, USB is not capable of this. How the FireWire ports are internally connected is unclear. The activity lights do not light up for...

This this is extremely weak...

Strengths: Um, NONE...

Weakness: 3 port firewire hub is really a 2 port with uplink. Weight from firewire cables tip this unit over, the rubber stand BARELY supports this unit without cables.

Well, for starters, this thing is oddly shaped, light plastic with an useless rubber base. The one side is completely wasted with a row of LED's. This space should have been used putting extra Firewire PORTS instead. This thing should have been about $5. Its a 4 port USB hub with Firewire Y-adapter. What a piece of CRAP!!!!

Not bad except my unit's firewire failed

Strengths: Firewire & USB in 1 unit. Works well with 1.1 usb items

Weakness: firewire failed Form factor is a little annoying- plugged in USB devices make the hub want to tip over easily.

About 2 months ago the firewire on my unit failed. When I plug in a firewire enclosure into the hub or my ipod, neither device is recognized by windows. The ipod continues to charge though. Aside from this glitch, the hub works well for USB, which makes this a bit more confusing to me.

na

Strengths: it is the best hub I have used now, it hasn't any compatible problem with windows xp version.

Weakness: not found

I feel it has enough port for usb2.0 and fireware equipment. I haven't meet any problem by now. The power that supplyed by adaper is enough to drive any power tiger. I think it is the best hub I have used by now. If you don't care its price(although not too high), it is the best choice for you.

Iomega Firewire- SUB 2.0 hub

Strengths: Nice tight design, easy set up

Weakness: Why not put the power port on the backside, that is, away from the majority of the ports

Service from the vendor was excellent and the product works as advertised, with a grade of "B" on the design. Would have earned a "A " on the design layout if the power port and "feeding" USB connection had been on the backside of the unit. Still is very usable and a good value based on the convenience of not needing to enter the computer case to create a front panel access.

Not bad than what i imagine

Strengths: everthing works fine on my pc, contact my camcorder in 1394 very well,outlook is nice

Weakness: firewire uplink and usb uplink are separate, 2 1394 ports in fact

To tell the truth, the bad review of this product is too horrible to buy it, but i still got it at last because i found the review about the other usb/firewire combo hub are all bad.And after one week, it works fine at all. The bad thing on PC to this hub is if you want use the firewire function, you must buy another firewire card(PCI slot) to connect it, that is not what i thought to this hub,...

A lot of bang for the buck!

Strengths: 7 USB & FireWire ports for very little cash

Weakness: Base needs to be heavier

This hub performs as promised! With 4 USB and 3 FireWire ports, you have lots of connectivity. I was going to buy just a 4-port USB hub, but for the same money I could get 3 FireWire ports as well. It features LED lights, so you know your port is active! A FireWire and USB cable is included. Only downside is that the rubbber base needs to be heavier to support the device. It took me a little...
