4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for an iMac, January 14, 2008

By	Willie Abrams (Searcy, AR USA) - See all my reviews

This works great for the back of an iMac because it can swivel and tilt at an angle where it doesn't block other ports and not take up desk space. Price is a little high if you don't need its unique functionality.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE!!!!, February 4, 2009

By	M. Harian (California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased two of these units to use with my Macbook Pro's (one for work, one for home). Connected everything up at work and all seemed to work OK....EXCEPT when I connected it to my Western Digital External USB 500gig drive. The drive never mounted. So I unhooked the hub and connected it straight to the usb port on my Mac. Still, it wouldn't mount. I figured my Extrnal USB drive just died on me coincidentally at the same time I connected it to this hub.

Took the second Belkin swivel hub I purchasd home. Hooked it up to my home Macbook Pro (a different machine) and to a different Western Digital exteranl 500 gig USB hard drive (my home unit). Same result Smoked that drive too.

BUYER BEWARE. THIS UNIT IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED.IT SMOKES WD USB HARD DRIVE CONTROLLERS.

I'm a computer tech, so I was able to bypass the SATA controller and get the data off both my external USB Western Digital Drives. But this unit TOASTED BOTH CONTROLLERS. Keep in mind, this was two different Belkin swivel hubs smoking two different external USB 500Gig Drives on two different Macbook Pro's.

STAY AWAY.

4.0 out of 5 stars Belkin Swivel Hub , December 20, 2008

By	William A. Robinson Jr. "riggarob" (Farmtown, Cowhampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for the smaller single port swivel hub, but couldn't find it anywhere, so I ordered this 4 hub model. It works fine, but it is heavy, so it doesn't stay where you want it too. It drops down when I move my laptop around. I only use it to put the receiver in, for my wireless mouse.
