Product Description

IOGEAR's FireWire hubs provide IEEE 1394a compliant ports that support data transfer rates of 100, 200 and 400 Mbps (megabits per second), and automatically switch to the highest speed that the peripheral supports.FireWire peripherals connect externally by simply plugging in the cables. Configuration is automatic - there is no need to specify memory addresses, IRQ assignments, device IDs, or to plug in terminators. IEEE 1394-compliant peripherals can be hot swapped (added and removed without having to shut the computer down).The fastest growing use of FireWire is in the realm of digital video (DV) devices. The digital format provides precise audio and video capabilities that are more directly compatible with a computer than the older generation of analog video devices.FireWire provides the physical structure for hassle free, inexpensive, Plug-n-Play networking - perfect for the Small Office/Home Office environment.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Ditto on the noise........2006-04-16

To reiterate what the others are saying, this hub is unusable due to the high-pitched noise it emits.

1 out of 5 stars Noisy and Not much response.......2005-10-10

I read the other review about the noise, after I bought it, and experienced the same, high-pitched noise. I asked about it, and this is what iogear's tech support said: "This is an idiosyncrasy of the device - we are looking into it." I'll try to return it to the retail store from which I bought it, today.

1 out of 5 stars Noisy .......2005-06-29

I don't know why but this device is noisy, it has a distinct buzz. I've tried two of these hubs and the first one was louder than a mosquito when plugged into my Powerbook, and the second is quieter, but buzzes all the time when powered up. I haven't seen how well it performs, as no matter how well it works I won't keep something on my desk which is buzzing at me.

So, my advice is to look elsewhere.
