- Targus ACH119US 4-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Hub
I didn't have enough space for my electronics, and got this little thing at a walmart.
For the price, it is very sleek, simple, and does an AMAZING job keeping up with all my data transfers! (Movies, music, and backing up my macbook.)
Well worth the money!

This little hub is compact and perfect for connecting external drives to a network. USB3 is sufficiently fast enough for quick back-ups.Want 4-PORT USB 3.0 Hub Discount?
I have purchased two of these. Returned the first because it did not maintain connections with devices, such as USB3 external drives and an external USB2 wireless adapter. Same problems with the replacement hub. As a result, I've reverted to my old Belkin 4-port USB2 hub, which works just fine.I am pretty sure the hub that I received is used. The gloss finish isn't as shiny as it supposed to be and it has scrape marking at its top and bottom.Using this hub to connect 2 UBS 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 external HDD. The extra USB connects to another 4-port USB 2.0 hub. Even thought the external HDD are self-powered, the hub still needs the optional adaptor powering it. I am not sure at which scenario the hub does not need the optional adaptor. I may test it out and update this review once I found the scenario.
I was able to run Time Machine backup on one external HDD while performing 35GB file copying from my MBP to the another external HDD without slowness. It was charing my phone at the same time.
The hub is being hidden at the back of my LCD to hide the clutter. I was hoping some company would design a hub with all connection facing one side to enable better cable management. Currently the power and input UBS is aiming inward; there isn't much concern for the USB cable as it will head to the front to my MBP, but the power cable needs to make a 180 degree bend backward to where my power strip is.
The hub is smaller then I thought; it is smaller then an iPhone 4. It is light too... Too light to prevent itself from being pulled down by the weight of USB cables connected to it. I would recommend the use of blue tack to hold it down.
If you aren't too concern of the item being used, this is a great USB 3.0 hub.
