Useful but louder than the V2,
By
This review is from: NewerTech MiniStack v3 Quad Interface' FireWire® 800/400/USB 2.0/eSATA Powered Hub Storage Solution (Electronics)
I recently purchased the v3 to complement my existing group of two of the older MiniStack v2s. Overall, I like the firewire 800 and the quality of construction seems much improved. But the new fan in the V3 is louder than the old MiniStack which is quite a bummer. But with the Firewire 800 and Sata support, it's much faster than the v2. And the fact that they throw in every cable you could need is a nice touch.
Also I have to take issue with some of the other reviews here. One person ding'ed it because it didn't have a drive. That's not the fault of the MiniStack - clearly the person didn't do their research - this is just a harddrive enclosure. But then another person complained that it "failed" and they lost their data - that sounds more like the harddrive they put inside the MiniStack failed, not the MiniStack itself. And lastly, I haven't had any hub problems at all. You just need to realize that if you want to use the USB ports, you must connect the MiniStack to the computer via USB as well. You can't connect it to your computer via Firewire and expect to be able to use the USB hub features (this is all explained clearly in the manual). Overall, it's a nice little drive enclosure that fits in well with the mac mini or even iMac (same brushed aluminum). I just wish it was quieter. For the curious, I grabbed a Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB drive to put in it - very nice: [...]

Loud and hot,
This review is from: NewerTech MiniStack v3 Quad Interface' FireWire® 800/400/USB 2.0/eSATA Powered Hub Storage Solution (Electronics)
Got this because I needed to attach multiple FW devices (drive and camera) and it looks nice under the Mac Mini.
However -- this beastie gets hot as hell and the tiny fan is ineffective and louder than my girlfriends hair dryer... I had a WD 750Gb drive in there, and it got so hot I couldn't touch it (the same drive runs fine in my PC). Eventually, I started getting connection problems and the Mac would just hang while trying to access it... I think I'm going to have to send it back.

Flawed Product,
By Clif (NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NewerTech MiniStack v3 Quad Interface' FireWire® 800/400/USB 2.0/eSATA Powered Hub Storage Solution (Electronics)
I bought this product for my Mac Mini and was excited with the design and many features. Unfortunately, I have had problems with random firewire/USB bus lockups and later problems with even being able to mount the drive. Unplugging the ministack usually fixed the problem. I have worked through all the cables, drive, etc. to rule out possible problems with these components but everything points to the ministack. I would stay away from this product as many other web posts with similar problems point to a flawed design.
