A good small (unpowered) firewire hub?

I need a small firewire hub to allow the simultaneous connection of one or two 2.5 in. portable HD's, plus my firewire card reader, to an ibook G3 500mhz with only one FW port. My OWC-to-Go drive has only one FW port on the back, so I cannot use it as hub.
I'd prefer that the hub not require a separate power supply. The road-warrior's life has enough hassles without even more cables and more things needing AC power.
Is this even possible? Maybe the single port on the ibook can't provide enough bus power for two drives and a reader?

Grrr. Not what I want to hear, but I suspect it's true. I seem to have made the mistake of buying a pocket drive that has FW and USB2. Fine in itself, but due to limited space on the back panel, there's only room for one 6-pin FW port. So I can't even daisy chain the reader from the drive, assuming the ibook port could power the two devices. The dear old ibook has only USB-1, the reader is FW only, and getting a USB reader for use with USB-1 would be agonizingly slow.
I use software (PhotoMechanic) that allows me to automatically dump the images on my CF cards onto two drives at once to provide redundancy. After editing the images, I use SuperDuper to update the back-up drive to an identical state to the main drive. Once a photographer gets used to this lever of convenient security, it's hard to give it up.
If I use a powered hub, could I support two pocket drives and the reader? The option of using the internal HD for image storage is poor, since it's so tiny: 10GB.
My existing single pocket drive can be AC-powered (if I buy the wall wart power supply).
What's the best, and least cable-cluttered way to do this?

  • Any recommendations on a good USB and FireWire Hub?

    Just bought a MacBook Pro and I'm about to start experimenting with Final Cut Express. With ports needed for usb powered speakers, a mic, a mouse, a usb flash reader (for photos)... and firewire ports needed to upload video and to connect an external drive, I'm thinking I need a hub.
    Belkin has one- http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=TE2 88LL/A

    The problem with a Firewire hub is you are still limited to one Firewire bus. Fortunately Express/34 cards exist with Firewire to add a Firewire bus:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2119050
    You may want to consider getting a 160 GB hard drive for your MacBook to have more storage for video and partitoning that drive to use part for just temporary scratch storage space which can be erased with Disk Utility.
    As for USB hubs, always get ones that have their own external power supply from the computer, and don't use the bus power unless the devices you are hooking up have their own power. I have the MacAlly hub, yet even this great hub can't hook up an external Firewire hard disk and an EyeTV simultaneously.

  • Anyone recommend a good duo USB/Firewire hub?

    Hey all,
    I looked at the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0/Firewire 6-port hub at the Apple store but half the people who wrote a review said it was a dud because of noise issues. I'm also not thrilled that it relies on the computer for power - I've heard that its better if the unit has its own power supply. Any alternative recommendations with the understanding that I really need both the UBS and Firewire ports?

    Nice tutorial BK, very descriptive. So from looking at your pics the plug in works with amd dts as well?
    nope, its for CD2 only, correct plugins for my mobo is (NVSU.dll)-->This plugin provides CPU temperature, System temperature, CPU fan speed and System fan speed hardware monitoring data sources for nForce system boards, supporting NVIDIA System Utility BIOS SMI interface.
    CD2 plugin can be loaded in AMD board, but nothing will read of course, in some of picture i have improvise Core0 and Core1 is actually mine 2 GPU's, but procedure is the same/match with CD2 installation.

  • Can anyone recommend a good firewire hub?

    We have a 2009 imac with one firewire 800 port, also I will soon be buying a new 15 or 17" Macbook Pro. I have run into problems trying to connect several firewire devices up at the same time due to there only being the one firewire 800 port. For instance, I might have a firewire audio interface, a DV camcorder, and a firewire hard drive that I use together when editing music and video.
    I reliable powered firewire hub would make life a lot easier.
    Can anyone give me some recommendations?
    Thanks.

  • PCI Firewire / Hub Firewire or Daisy chain Which one will be a good idea

    I'm starting to run outta room for firewire
    so i decided to buy a PCI firewire card
    so now i wanna know if its smart to plug my drives in there so as my isight or just stay with daisy chain or buy firewire hub ?
    thanks in advance
    any quick answers are appreciated
    stash

    The Firewire PCI card i got has like a power connection port on it
    I was wondering if i needed to connect it to anything or it gets enough power from the motherboard
    I mean they didn't supply the cable to connect it to the power supply
    and the G5 doesn't have any extra cable lying inside there to connect to it
    and so far all hard drives including the isight is running smooth
    Just wanna know before something happen

  • ISight with External Drive or Firewire Hub

    Hello,
    I am interested in purchasing an iSight for multiple reasons. I have been reading in the forum that iSight may not work with certain firewire devices which is unfortunate since I utilize external firewire devices on a daily basis and it would not be beneficial to disconnect them to utilize iSight.
    I have a external firewire DVD burner which is connected to my miniStack, which in turn is connected to my Powerbook. I also boot off of the miniStack and do not want to change that fact.
    I can't seem to find a straight answer to this question, "Will my iSight work with the firewire hub in my miniStack?" If not, will it work with a powered firewire hub? If so, what hub is recommended, or at least is know to work very well?
    If iSight will not work at all in my situation, can anyone recommend a camera that works well with iChat, iMovie, and Skype.
    Hopefully I am not beating a dead horse with this subject!
    Thanks

    Hello Akuma,
    I strongly recommend Belkin Hubs. My experience and that of others that have posted indicate that they work well w/Mac's 25V power.
    That said, there is no reason for you to replace the miniStack, which seems to play well with the iSight: however I'm baseing that on reports/conversations w/others; not personal experience.
    The iSight is designed to work w/Mac and the chances are that you have a better than 50/50 shot at it working w/your particular "flavor" of other non-Apple FW devices. The only way you will be able to tell for sure is to try it. The final outcome, good or bad, really can't be qualified as it seems to be dependent on what non-Mac FW devices use for their logic chip (Oxford having proven to work in most cases).
    James A. Weston's suggestion is correct and a lot simpler than mine. Let us know if you do try, and the results so others may benefit. Good Luck.
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher
    ps-I'm in WI a lot, and would be glad to let you try my iSight if you can't find a friend or neighbor w/one.

  • Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8 will not recognize IOGEAR GUH420 combo usb/firewire hub

    My IOGEAR GUH420 combo usb/firewire hub is not being recognized by my MacBook Pro. I have changed usb ports and cables and still no luck.
    I have another unpowered Belkin hub that it sees, but not the IOGEAR. I bought the IOGEAR based on Mac forum recommendations.

  • Belkin MacMini 6 Port USB/Firewire Hub  F5U507

    Does anyone have the Belkin F5U507 6 Port MacMini USB/Firewire Hub?
    I want to buy it but I'm hesitating, being concerned that it doesn't have its own AC power unit to attach to the wall socket.
    It does look nice, matching up to the Mini, but I don't want it to be a case of more form than substance.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks.

    Well, this may be an "oopsie" for me then. I just purchased this hub a couple of days ago from the Apple store (my powered Belkin hub - the lozenge-shaped one - just failed).
    I was wondering how they got around the fan-out issue with the new hub being unpowered. Well, I have time to cancel the order.

  • Does anyone know of a firewire hub that has both 400 and 800 ports?

    Heck' if you only need 1 or 2 ports it's cheaper to just buy a good Quad Interface External HD to use as a Hub and get the bonus HD for Storage and Backup.

  • Belkin Firewire Hub Not working

    I purchased a Belkin Firewire 6-Port Hub unit and plugged all of my firewire gear into it and it is not working. The unit is glowing green and is connected to my iMac so that is all good.
    I read the back of the package and it says the following....
    To use the hub your computer must feature a built in firewire host adapter or be equipped with a firewire host adapter upgrade card.
    Does the Intel Core 2 Duo based iMac have either one of these? Could this be my problem?

    I had one external hard drive plugged in (with its own power supply), my Digi002 Rack plugged in (with its own power supply) and a cable to my camcorder. I turned my hard drive on and the icon would not appear. I just unplugged everything and now the hard drive works. I guess I will just take the belkin back or sell it on amazon.
    I have a belkin usb hub and that thing works great! I guess the firewire hubs are kind of finiky.
    There really was not exact place to plug the firewire cable into the hub that connects to the computer, unlike the usb hub. I thought that a bit odd. Perhaps I pluggede the cable from the computer into the wrong spot on the hub so the hub was not recognized by the computer?

  • Do i need a Firewire Hub

    My MacBook only has one firewire port and I want to import my video to my external hard drive because I don't have enough hard drive space on my MacBook. In order to do that I need to have the camera and MyBook external hard drive plugged in at the same time. Can anyone recommend a good firewire hub?
    ThX!

    Some Firewire device allow "daisychaining" which means if your external drive has two firewire ports, you might be able to connect the camera to one of them.
    Otherwise, a hub should work fine.

  • Would like the best Firewire hub

    I am looking for a good Firewire hub.
    I ran across what looked like the perfect one but it says 'unavailable' everywhere I see it.
    It is the Buslink 6 port FW400.
    6 ports would be great as I have two digital camcorders, iPod base, and Dual Layer DV burner to use on it.
    My harddrives are FW800, so no need for an 800 port since they daisychain.
    Anybody have a good one they would like to tell me about?

  • Please recommend a firewire hub

    I am looking for a firewire hub for the mini so I can plug in 3-4 iSights to ue as a security system. Can someone please recommend a middle of the road type hub I should get. I don't think I will need any more than 4 inputs but maybe six would be good for future expansion?
    Thanks.

    WildBull...
    I am rather fond of this one as a total fireWire solution. (There is also a Combo FW/USB model available)
    BTW- Have you considered other cameras such as wireless or IP based ones? The major limitation with FW based cams is that you are restricted to a few feet away from your computer. You may wish to consider the security range before deciding. Another thing is you are free to mix a bit with them. (FW for short range - Wireless for distance)

  • Recomend firewire hub?

    I think I need a firewire hub. I have 4-5 firewire cables I am constantly switching out on the front port and either the cables or the port are failing.
    What hubs are recommended?

    This Firewire 400 hub is nice
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/IOGEAR/GFH610/
    As is this one for Firewire 800
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/BELKIN/F5U624APL/
    Just stick with a known brand and you probably won't go wrong. As a rule of thumb cheaper is not always better.
    The Firewire Depot is a good place to shop also

  • Firewire hubs recommendations please...

    I have 2 x LaCie Mini 250G firewire drives which I have been using with my Mini G4 by daily chaining them. I occasionally get I/O errors when the drives are under high load. I then need to do a hard reset to get the machine responding again.
    I have tested without the 2nd drive connected and the problem seems to have been resolved. It appears the LaCie drives do not work well if daily chained - problem with the firewire bus <?>.
    I am thinking about getting a firewire hub which I am hoping will solve the I/O error problem.
    Does anyone have an experience or recommendations on which type of firewire hub to purchase?
    Thanks.

    Hello Hattori Hanzo,
    Based on personal experience,and a lot of correspondance with others in the forums over the last couple of years, I would recommend a Belkin Mfg. hub. Others may work as well, but it seems that Belkin has a completely clean track record to date, of being compatable with Apple products.
    Cory Cooper's suggestion seems like an elegant solution for a mini. If it were any other mfg. but Belkin, I would suggest that you stay away from combo USB/FW hubs as there have been reports of problems. But again, based on the above recommendation, and the product coming from Belkin, I'd say you've got your answer.
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher
