Can I hook up the Belkin Superspeed 3.0 hub to the back of IMAC USB port?

If you have the new iMac (late 2012), you have USB 3.0 ports on it. You can hook up this HUB to your iMac, but you need the external power as well.

It has two USB connections because it needs more than the 500mA that a single USB 2.0 port can provide. All the ports on my wife's iMac are in use, too. So I have 2 powered USB hubs. As it happens, I plugged one of the drive's cables into each of them, but you could plug them both into the same USB hub. You could plug the signal connection into your mini and the power connection into a powered USB hub that had no other connection to your mini.

I have a MacBook. There is no port for it. I was able to connect using an AppleBox.

According to both the online documentation and the documents that came with the drive, the answer is yes. I can also offer my own experience as I've been using these drives with both my older iMac w/USB 2.0 interface and my new iMac w/USB 3.0 interface and both work as expected. USB 2.0 speeds are MUCH slower than USB 3.0 speeds, so expect that your throughput will be lower than the max throughput indicated on the docs; plugged into a USB 2.0 slot, the drive will operate at USB 2.0 speeds. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

USB3 is backward compatible to USB2, but you'll only get USB3 speed if you have a USB3 jack on your Mac.

I could never get it to work with my Mac Mini. The Firewire ports between the Belkin hub and my Mac Mini weren't compatible.

Sorry, I did not try to connect a USB hub. This did not work in my MB so I had to buy another attachment.

Yes. I used it to connect an internal Blu-ray burner/player to my iMac with OS 10.9. However, I would not count on total reliability. Depending on what you want to use it for, if possible, I would find something that has its own power source and already has a USB 3.0 built in.

Yes it works with my newer iMac and a previous model. I did however have to plug it into the USB port in back of the computer. It did not work when I plugged it into a USB dock/hub

I think it should work, but I can't be a hundred percent sure because there are different usb ports now and I'm not sure which one your new imac may have.

The only connection is a fixed thunderbolt, so I'm not sure you'd be able to connect it. There's no USB on it.

It is a powered hub. The only thing I haven't been able to connect was an Apple SuperDrive.

The Belkin SuperSpeed USB hub will not provide power to the host computer nor draw power from computer battery. It has its own separate battery adapter.

Yes it is, but if the Mac doesn't have 3.0 ports it will be converted to a 2.0 speed.
