I travel a lot for work, so I decided to buy the earlier version of this with a shorter cable usb hub. Exactly the same hub, identical 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub connector, just a longer cable. I bought this longer version for a home office setup.
Anker 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub
I only have positive things to say about this 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub UltraSlim. It's plug-and-play with every computer I've tried, including both Mac and Windows machines. It looks and feels well built, and my earlier purchase of the shorter cable version has held up against countless travel setups. Anker continues to impress me with their quality, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if I find the need.

Data Transfer Speed Of Usb Hub
Transfer movies, music, or an entire photo library in seconds with 5Gbps data speeds.While using this I had a 16GB thumb drive and a 2TB external drive connected this this which was then plugged into my Mac. At some point it got the 2 devices confused and overwrote the 2TB drive with the contents of the 16GB thumb drive (lost close to a TB of photos. I have never seen the Mac get devices mixed up when seperate USB HUB ports had these same devices. Later, with only the thumb drive connected, my Mac kept saying the thumb drive was disconnected unexpectedly. Seems fine for printers and my wireless keyboard, just not for storage devices.
Work's Of USB HUB
Very light weight, fast, and works great. Longer than average cable length. Hub has a very small blue activity light, improved from my previous Anker usb hub...no longer too bright and distracting.
Slim enough to throw into my laptop bag, and when I'm using my desktop, I attached it to my monitor stand with a piece of velcro. Would Awesome if Anker included a small velcro strip. Haven't tried to strain power drain. Have run 2 portable hard drives, a USB hub and Keyboard/mouse dongle without problem. Learn More For USB HUB.
