If you have a monitor, the macessity lineup has a stand for the monitor with a built in powered usb hub. They are aluminum and look good in my opinion. Best controller for minecraft android mac free. I also was looking at a built into the desk hub.
I have a 2012 Mac Mini with 2 x 3TB Seagate GoFlex Desk external hard drives. Both drives have their own power supplies and work perfectly.
I use both Mac OS X and Windows7 on the Mac for different reasons. Both boot and work fine. The only problem is neither Mac OS X or Windows will boot while the two USB drives are connected. I must disconnect the USB cables, boot and reconnect them. Then all works fine. It's rather annoying since this is mostly a Media Centre and you really don't want to be playing with cables every day, and I don't leave my stuff on over night.
Can anyone help? Both jmreicha (with an error) and Daniel Tracy have good suggestions. Tracy's suggestion is the preferred method for long-term stability (the selection in System Preferences will stick better and should be set once everything is working properly). Jmreicha should have said hold down the option key during startup however, not command (and you generally keep holding option until all, or at least the desired boot volume shows up in the list, as different devices/interfaces take different amounts of time to load here). Also, this could be a something else.
'power related' possibly. What I would try in order of precedence: • reset PRAM* & change cords: • (hold down command-option-p-r during startup, you will hear the startup chime a second time if it worked).
*NOTE: You must unplug all peripherals except mouse, keyboard, and monitor for this to work properly. • Rearrange cables/cords: • unplug all usb cables (should already be done from part 1.) and plug them into different ports if possible (both on the Computer and HD ends) • Change which electrical outlets the power supplies are plugged into (low priority, but has worked). • you could daisy chain the drives together by plugging the second drive into the other instead of having them both plugged directly in to the Mac Mini (not ideal for bottlenecks) if possible to see if that has any effect (first try one as the 'hub' then the other). • Reset the SMC: • Shut down the Mac Mini. • Unplug the computer's power cord.
• Wait 15 seconds. • Attach the computer's power cord. • Wait 5 seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer. I've had my current setup just stop working multiple times with multiple MacBook Pros and the above have seemed to do the trick (in combination when none of them worked alone): USB-->Hub in Monitor -->4 different USB devices FW800-->Quad-Interface HUB in HDD Enclosure -->(1)FW400 Superdrive -->(2)FW800 HDD DOCK-->FW800 CF Reader.

If you put your iMac on your desk! I struggled with getting at the connectors, which Apple (the ultimate gizo maker) put on the BACK of the iMac.
Not only is this a great place to store your keyboard, but it has front mounted USB connectors. I would recommend this item to a friend!

December 13, 2014 The idea of the stand is very good. The execution is just OK. As others have said the finish is just OK. I can live with it.
The real problem I have is that the USB slots are too close together. It is not really possible to use two adjacent slots at the same time. The stand has room to separate the slots if the manufacturer wanted to or they could have turned each slot vertical. It is very strong holds my 27' IMac with no flex at all. Stand is open in the back which allows for running wires.
There is a small post in the middle of the stand that prevents flexing and prevents the keyboard from going too far under the stand when you slide it in. I would recommend this item to a friend!
