TRIPP LITE USB3 hub

I (Lloyd) just installed a second TRIPP LITE USB3 hub on my Mac Pro. I had my fill of unplugging stuff to plug in other stuff, so now two hubs are attached. They just sit there and work with never an issue (for well over a year now).

Count up the stuff that needs USB3 juice, 14 items:

• Two iphones and an iPad, simultaneously. +3
• SRM Power Control 7. +1
• Dual-slot card reader. +3
• High speed SDXC card reader: +1
• Two USB3 SSDs. +2
• NEC calibrator for PA302W wide gamut display. +1
• Keyboard +1
• Two spare ports for additional drives, camera USB3 cable, etc +2
• Printer (not me but some people).

The TRIPP LITE USB3 hub is fanless, so it’s silent. I don’t want a 16-port USB hub with a fan for charging iPads, as nice as it looks.

By the way, here’s a cool product for plugging up to 16 gadgets @AMAZON.
