    I'm looking for a good USB 3.0 hub. I only have one USB 3.0 port on my laptop and sometimes I need to connect to multiple external drives and a USB 3.0 blu-ray writer at the same time. For some reason I thought I would be able to chain them together but my external USB 3.0 drives do not have secondary ports.

    Ideally something small but with enough space between the ports so that you can actually fill them all at the same time.

    I had difficulty with 2.0 hubs sometimes where certain drives or devices could not get power through the hub, or would only work on one of the ports, etc., and had to be connected directly. I hope the 3.0 hubs don't have these issues.
