Hello,

I'm searching for a good USB 3 hub for Linux for use at work. I know just
about everything will be compatible with Linux (the first native USB3
driver OS) which I use frequently at home with enough built-in ports
without a hitch. I am curious if anyone has had better success with some
USB 3 hubs over others?

My primary goal is high, maintained speed and throughput. I do a lot of
forensic imaging (drive to drive copying over USB 3), so four ports would
be sufficient, and a separate power hub is a no brainer. I use dc3dd,
guymager + libewf, and ftkimager, the latter two being threaded and very
fast for compression and encryption. I know ideally I should be using eSATA
for this, but there are other reasons for not doing it that way. Price
isn't too much of a sticking point since it's covered by work, but I don't
want to go all out with a pink rhinestone $200 4 port USB 3 hub either ;-)

I noticed Micro Center has some options (am open to online locations as
well):

Any suggestions (general experience, benchmarks, etc) are greatly
appreciated,
