Pros: Nice idea

Cons: Lots of problems, connectivity, crashes

Overall Review: Bought this mainly for a laptop with broken USB ports, but working Firewire. Turns out you need to connect BOTH USB and Firewire to make this work. Decided instead to use it as expansion for the iMacs and G4s around the office. However, plugging into the USB cable into the iMacs knocked out all other USB ports (so no keyboard or mouse), and it simply hard crashed the G4s. This is true of 2 iMacs and 2 G4s. I appreciate it is intended for an iMac mini, but can a device as simple as this really be so picky?
