Hello,<br><br>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? <br>
<br>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 ;-) <br>
<br>I noticed Micro Center has some options (am open to online locations as well):<br><a href="http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=0&NTX=&NTT=usb+3+hub&NTK=all&sortby=rating" target="_blank">http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=0&NTX=&NTT=usb+3+hub&NTK=all&sortby=rating</a><br>
<br>Any suggestions (general experience, benchmarks, etc) are greatly appreciated, <br><br clear="all"><div>--<br>Jeremy MountainJohnson<br><a href="mailto:Jeremy.MountainJohnson@gmail.com" target="_blank">Jeremy.MountainJohnson@gmail.com</a></div>
