3.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as bad as they just said., March 2, 2006

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.

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.

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.
