We agree with Brando's claim when they say USB 3.0 is poised to become mainstream. The company sent us 3 hubs to play around with and check if they are worth their salt. These USB 3.0 4-Port Hubs are all offering 4 extension ports (backwards compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0). All three devices are compatible with both PC and MAC, except for the square model (middle one in photo above) they come with an additional power supply.
Why could you use one?
Good question! First off the bat: USB 3.0 offers up to 5 times the speed of conventional USB 2.0, which means an imminent boost of performance.
