Digital camera reviews of Belkin USB 2.0& Firewire 6-Port Hub For Mac Mini
Digital camera Review: GET RID OF THE CABLES!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this product from a vendor on Ebay based on some of the reviews from people on Amazon. And to some extent the people who said that they could not get this device to work on their Mac Mini's and other Mac's are right. I had the same problem! I was getting ready to throw it out the window until a friend of mine suggested that I change the cable (USB 2.0) forget Firewire. Lo and behold it works!!! As for the customer service part of Belkin, don't waste your time, they are TOTALLY USELESS!!!!! They kept giving me the run around. The ironic part of this is that the cable that I used was from my Nikon digital camera. So in short, get rid of the cables that came with this product and it will work as advertised.Digital camera Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
The design is nice, and fits perfectly under my Mac Mini. I could possibly use more ports on the front or even better on the right or left sides instead of the back. It's a little difficult unplugging or plugging anything in when you're trying to reach your fingers in between the cords for the mac mini.Digital camera Review: Great for a Mac Mini, Good as a permanent hub
Summary: 4 Stars
PROS:
This item would be great for use with a Mac Mini. I use it with my MacBookPro so I don't have to reconnect all my USB items every time I put it back on my desk. Instead of stacking under a Mac Mini, I put it under my 19" monitor that I use in a dual monitor configuration on my desk. This works very well with a few exceptions.
CONS:
The included USB and Firewire cords are very short. This would be fine for the Mac Mini, but not so great for my setup. Also, I was disappointed that the Firewire connections are only the slower Firewire 400, but for the price, I couldn't beat it.
Digital camera Review: Great piece of gear
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great piece of gear. allows user to expand ports, and runs them all with no problems. Also, a great price.Digital camera Review: Hub expansion for Mac Mini
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect Hub for those needing more ports for their Mac Mini. I have mine nestled between my Mac Mini and a Lacie hardrive.
