[QUOTE="dgarmaise, post: 1554844, member: 177473"] Yes, indeed, the iMac works fine with all external drives disconnected. I think it was the loose plug on the Belkin hub; it was loose where the plug enters the electrical socket. There were clues that I failed to pick up on: every so often an external drive would "disconnect itself." I don't think the hub per se is a problem. I re-connected the hub to the iMac, after fixing the loose problem, and I started adding back the external drives, one every few hours. Everything is reconnected now and I am not having any problems. Regarding the OWC FW800 Mercury Elite Pro mini, what is it exactly? It looks like a drive or a drive enclosure rather than a hub. I live in Thailand, and I am pretty sure I'll not be able to find it in the stores here. Thailand is the land of cheap knock-offs; I was "lucky" to find a Belkin hub amidst all the cheap and useless hubs for sale. It is very hard to buy a genuine DVD movie or concert here what with all the pirated stuff floating around. I suppose I could order the OWC online, if they will ship to Thailand.
