Looking at one of the Belkin 6 port hubs.
Anyone got any advice,experience or opinions on firewire hubs?
Will mostly be used on a Mac mini at home, with an iPod, iSight and video cam at some point.

cheers

they should all work the same, just worry about number of ports or the design of it.

I have the belkin and it works fine.

thanks for the reply, do you have the small 6 port or the 'standing upright' Belkin hub?

I got the one below for x-mas a few years ago and it's been a very reliable hub for me:



Not sure if he's still for sale or not, tho'.

Another vote for Hubzilla even though you already got the other hub. I LOVE Hubzilla, but he doesn't love anyone.
