4.0 out of 5 stars good combo hub, but doesn't integrate the two, April 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Macally USB 2.0 Hi-Speed & Firewire Combo Hub for Mac ( HUB-UF ) (Personal Computers)

This single hub has three firewire jacks, four usb 2.0 jacks, and 1 usb 2.0 upload jack. Don't let the earlier review lead you astray -- This will not let you use USB 2.0 devices through a firewire port. The firewire connections are separate from the USB connections and if you want both you need to connect two wires from the hub to your computer, one to the USB interface in your computer and another to the firewire interface.

Otherwise it's nice looking and seems to work well enough.

This hub has worked flawlessly since the day I bought it. It adds much needed port capacity/flexibility to my G4 Powerbook.

I hade so much clutter in my office from cables and more cables that I was going crazy. This small and great looking combo hub is the best! (comes with magnet set up so you can just hang it on a metallic object on your desk or on metallic message boards). I'm so happy not having multiple hubs taking up more space. It's worked great since the first day and I'm going to buy another for my second computer.
