3.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, poor function, December 9, 2004

The nice shape comes at the expense of good design. The vertical stand isn't up to holding the weight of installed cables and it easily pops out of place. The cosmetic shield gets in the way of seeing your cables and the curved connector surface makes access to cables fussy.

I'm finding the unit I've been using for many months to be unreliable with hard drives and other fast devices. These work fine when connected directly to a 1304 port. I'm looking for a replacement.

The Belkin FireWire 6-port Hub works. My Classic iPod Charger/Sync works fine with it as well as some other peripherals.

The stand does not stay attached and the cover encloses the connections and keeps them clean, but the ports are hard to get to when one wants to add or remove FireWire cables.
