Works great, but it's really a 6 port hub (2 firewire ports)
By Matthew Haughey
I've got several firewire devices that interact with my powerbook, including a backup drive, an ipod, a camera reader, and often networking between two computers over firewire. I shopped around amazon looking for more firewire ports and a few extra USB slots (mouse, printer, ipod shuffle, etc all take up ports).This compaq stood out from the rest because it says it's a 4 port USB/3 port firewire hub. If you look around, you'll only find 4 port USB/2 port firewire hubs for a similar price. I thought I was getting a deal by getting that one extra port, but it arrived today and I have to say they kind of lied in the product description.The USB section does include four ports, with a fifth small USB port used to connect to your computer. However, the firewire section of the hub has three ports total -- with one port used to connect to your computer. This means that you've really only got two open ports to work with, not three.I feel like I've been tricked by the product description and now when I want to sync my ipod I have to remove my backup drive to get that the second port. Other than that, it works fine and isn't too large, and they were nice enough to include all the cables you'd need.

Hub works great and is good value.
By Marsha Kissen
Firewire/USB 2.0 hub works perfectly with my1999 G4 Sawtooth Mac running Panther. (USB 2.0 card added in addition to a lot of other upgrades.) If you are not esthetically offended by the Compaq logo on the hub, you will be a happy camper. This hub comes with the usb 2.0 and firewire cables included. The inclusion of the cables constitutes a significant savings. Comparable hubs do not include the cables which are pretty expensive to buy.

By C. H. Gonzalez
Introduction:I initially needed a USB hub to simplify the routing of cables to my laptop. This little device really delivers, I only have to (un)plug one USB cable for four devices.Pros:1. As advertised, four USB ports (not three and one to connect, but four) and three firewire (you only get two firewire here, as one must be sacrificed to connect to the computer)2. Convenient design where all ports are on the back3. Power cord and USB cord included (thank you Compaq, or your licensee)Cons:1. Compaq logo on the top detracts2. Lightweight and feels "cheap" (don't place this near the edge of your desk or cables can pull it off) - Compaq should have stuck with a nice silver box, it would sit on the desk and match my Mac better.Summary:Overall, this is a great product with a few minor aesthetic issues, which if you don't mind, shouldn't bother you. It functions as advertised and I have been pleased with it! I heartily recommend this hub, but have to ding it one star for being light and having the bold red Compaq logo on the top; sure they should get some advertising, but I don't care for it there.N.B. Do not connect USB 1 and 2.0 devices concurrently to the hub as it will surely reduce the speed of all USB devices attached.
