Belkin Mac Mini USB hub? - DRR - 04-12-2009

Anyone have this? Thoughts?

It's out of stock at Belkin but plenty on ebay. Seems like it's got enough power. OTOH I'm not a big fan of Belkin and their other products on apple.com/store get pretty bad reviews.

I've got the Belkin with the USB port facing upwards and several on the back, and have had no problems with it at all.

Their firewire hubs, on the other hand, have just been intermittent at best.

I like it


I didn't notice I had both hubs in the picture. I use the Belkin you're asking about for connecting drives and printers to my Airport Express. The dome hub is for the MBP to connect cameras, keyboard (for when BT disconnects), etc.

Too much Money for too little hub.

Picked up one on ebay, sits between the Mini and the OWC Ministack.
Never a problem.
