 No help from Belkin November 16, 2008
Andrego (California)
I have two Western Digital Drives, one 1 TB La Cie Big Disk and a lighscribe La Cie DVD burner. This Belkin hub does not support any of these on an Intel iMAC with Mac OS X 10.5.5. If you go to the Belkin web site you will not find a picture or documentation for a F5U526-APL. You will be told your search does not match any Belkin products. What you will find is documentation for FireWire 6-Port Hub #F5U526-WHT. That is a "different" product from the F2U526-APL. In that documentation there is no information about possible compatibility issues. So I give this the worse rating on two counts: 1) The manufacturer does not provide any support in when their products are compatible nor any guidance on how to check for compatibility and 2) this product is not even considered to be one of Belkin's. Is it discontinued? Even so, there should be an entry if Belkin provided "up and out" customer service.
Works great-as expected! October 23, 2008

This sped my video editing while allowing proper connection to an external drive. I'm ready for anything video now!
Does the job, but not many items are firewire anymore July 21, 2008

I use it for an external hard drive and a web cam, but some hard drives will insist on being hooked directly to the computer.

The Belkin Hub was just what I needed. My MacBook Pro just didn't have enough fire wire ports. The Belkin was VERY easy to set up and I have had NO problems with it.
 underpowered May 30, 2008

While it basically functions as it should, the hub seems to be slightly underpowered. I have just three devices plugged into it (two self-powered hard drives, and a Digi Mbox2Pro bus-powered audio interface), and it doesn't always recognize both drives. Also, sometime when I eject & turn off one of the drives, the audio interface disappears as well. As long as I don't change anything (i.e. turn off any drives), it works well.
