I haven't used a hub, but I was happily surprised at how fast the USB 3 
was with my Seagate 3TB external drive.  This is not systematic 
benchmarking, but ...  The first time I tried it, I measured how quickly 
it copied a file from the external drive to my laptop's internal hard 
drive.  The file was 2.9 GB and it copied it in 17 seconds.  A file that 
size was taking about 2 minutes by USB 2.  Now I want to add USB 3 to my 
other machines, so I am also interested in the hubs.
