 Not nearly as bad as they just said.Mar 02, 2006
By Jorge Lourenco
Good:
* 4 USB 2.0 ports work well.
* Don't know whats wrong with these guys my firewire ports ARE POWERED. Both my iPod and iSight work as expected too. All connected to the GUH420. See the pic I uploaded using my plugged in iSight camera.
Bad:
* False advertising. IOGear claims 3 firewire ports. NOT TRUE. There are only really two. One port needs to be connected to the computer or in my case the back of my Apple Cinema Display.
Conclusion: 3 of 5 stars only because the 3 Firewire ports claim irritated me. Otherwise it looks good, works well and is very inexpensive.

CarefulJul 06, 2008
By T. Rubino
Great hub IF you need both USB and Firewire all the time. The hub will not power on or work unless you connect both the USB and Firewire cables to your computer. Therefore you cannot just use usb, or firewire.

 firewire hubNov 30, 2009
By Arturo Hinojosa
"batman"
My daughter like it because it gave her more usb options to her pc but I miss understood when I purchase it. I was looking for what I thought was a adapter to be able to use both usb and firewire since my daughter's pc does not have firewire she had the option to use both. So I am right back to square one.

 Firewire ports are unpoweredJul 24, 2005
By Tiger Vijay
Don't bother with this hub; the firewire ports are unpowered. Your iPod will drain its battery power; your firewire hard drive will not work unless it has its own AC power source.

Good combo hub, cheap standAug 23, 2006
By Eric Greene
This hub works well on my iMac, no problems at all. I especially like the 2 available ports (1 firewire, 1 USB) on the front for easy access to plug in temporary devices such as a USB memory stick, firewire video camera, etc. As noted, you don't really get 3 firewire ports, since one of them is needed to connect the hub to your computer leaving only 2 firewire ports left on the hub. Definitely misleading advertising. My biggest complaint is the cheap soft rubber stand that this hub just sits in. It is very unstable and loose fitting, and the hub pops out of the stand very easily if knocked over. Hence the 3 star rating. Otherwise, it a nice hub for the money.
