Good morning all!
As the title says, I'm looking for recommendations on a powered USB3 hub for my sweet 2012 Mac Mini. I'm connecting 4 HD's, my M-Audio KeyRig49, Mac keyboard, the occasional USB MIDI controller (mixer), iPhone. Are there any brands that are just plain solid that I wont have to think about? Are there any hubs to stay away from?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank!

I have this one and like it a lot:

The aluminum version has 6 ports but the charging port doubles as an i/o port. The IQ ports on the linked one can't be used for I/o (data).

Thanks for the suggestion MLC. Gonna do some reading on it now. I was recommended a hub from Anker. They get good reviews on Amazon. Anyone had experience with them?
Thanks again for the help MLC! I really appreciate it!

De nada. I like the small footprint on the desk.
