does this hub come with instructions? i mean: where does it plug into?

The USB 3.0 ports plug into the motherboard's socket for the appropriate ports. (It is color coded) Check your motherboard for compatibility. There may be some mounting instructions as well, but the setup should be fairly straight forward if you have even just minimal experience doing something like mounting an optical drive.

There was a printed instruction manual in the box. Before you buy it, you can read it here,http://www.sybausa.com/resource/SY-HUB50044/SY-HUB50044_Manual.pdf,but as the years go by, it could get revised or changed. This answer is specifically for the SY-HUB50044 unit I purchased in may of 2014. It comes with two different cabling options.1) to a USB3 motherboard header, or 2) to a rear panel USB3 port. I used method 2. Both cabletypes were supplied in the box. No power cables were supplied, but my power supply had spare 4-pin and SATA connectors available. I did not have to buy anything special toinstall it in my Antec Minuet 350 case. There was a printed instruction manual in the box.

It needs 2 powered USB ports to operated correctly. You would need would need 2 hubs

It does. Pairs easily. No problems. Make sure you update the firmware of the hub before you do anything else...

I can't remember if there were any instructions in the box or not but it's simple to install. Plug it into a USB port and then use it! Nothing any more complicated than that - plug in and play!

Umm, it's a USB hub? It let's you plug in more than one usb device. Did you not read the description?

One end is USB, but where does the other (old fashioned) looking end plug in at??

Usually there is a USB port already on it. You just put the doggle in to it from the mouse you should not need a USB hub. They usually give you all the cables you will need.

Since this is a powered hub, you must ensure that you have it 'powered up' Mine had a small red LED that lite when it was plugged in. If connections are good, and your LED is lite (and unit still fails) you need another one.

The hub needs to plug into an electric outlet for power ( it's not just USB powered ).

Mine works with my Powered hub, but I have to unplug it when I boot or reboot as it causes the boot to hang.

Yes, you just need a USB port. It doesn't matter what the operating system is. I hope this helps. I am very happy with my hub.

A few questions: Are you using this with a Mac? Are there usb 3.0 hub drivers to install for Mac? Are you referring to the physical plugging-in act or the device plugs in but doesn't charge or get recognized by your computer?

No it doesn't come with any directions, cables or cords. There is a whole where something can be plugged in.

Yes. One thing that I had to do thought was first hook it up directly to my laptop and get it working. Then I could move it to a hub and it would work. For me, it did not work right away attached to the hub but has worked fine since.
