I want to get a usb 3.0 hub and have it a few feet from the computer, will this work?

sure. but most usb 3 hubs have some sort of cable either hard wired, or included. typically, they have between 3-6 feet of length. so you may not need this.

The cable is three feet long. If you feel that's not long enough, then get the six foot one(the six foot one would probably be more than enough).

Hi there Since I have the 4 port USB3.0 ...I have checked that my external hard drives that are powered up by an extension cord are USB2.0 and it works with my USB3.0 port on the USB HUB. I can not see why not it would not work with the 7 USB 3.0 port. I have this USB 3.0 port hub on Windows 7 Ultimate so it will work with windows 7.

Hi Eric. Yes, it will work on a 3.0 USB port since USBs are forward and backward compatible. The difference will lie on the maximum speed supported by each one.

No - this hub is backwards compatible with 2.0 and 1.0, but it can only pass data as fast as the slowest USB component. In your case, the 2.0 port on your Win7 tower is the limiting factor.

If you have a usb3.0 port and you have downloaded the drivers of should work

Yes, this adapter will power a usb 3.0 Hub. The only problem that I have discovered with this adapter is that it can interfere with on-board bluetooth connectivity, particularly with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse. It seems that some people have been able to mod their BT antenna to get around this issue. I opted to purchase an external USB BT adapter to override the internal BT adapter. When plugged into the USB 3.0 Hub, the BT adapter suffered from the same interference problem as before, but seems to work fine when plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

Most definitely. As long as you don't mind the usb 2.0, it should be fine. I sure its actually better, because usually power run from the computer shouldn't be as strong as the self powered hub. I power many things through the hub (webcam, memory card readers, chargers) works well.

Not this one - it's the wrong kind of connection type on the peripheral side. You'd want this one instead (Type A to Type B) - Cable Matters SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type A to B Cable in Blue 6 Feet

Can't say. The hub doesn't require a driver so software issues would only occur if your USB3.0 card uses a driver that doesn't like it when the number of ports are increased, or has an onboard controller chip with the same issue. Best bet is to contact the manufacturer of your USB card and ask if it has any issues with having a USB3.0 hub attached.

Use the shortest USB extension cable that you have. A 3 foot one should not lose too much power.

This is USB 3 so you would need to use that type of extension. I am not sure if 25 feet would degrade the quality of the connection though. Sometimes there are limits. Contact Satechi. They are really helpful!

You'll probably need a USB 3.0 specific outlet on your laptop or computer in order to get true 3.0 speed

Depends on the router, be sure to check out the router's manual to see if it can address 3TB of storage and preferrably be able to work with USB 3.0

yes. It's a fairly high powered hub. Works best if plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

No. Unless the USB device works on USB 2.0. It won't be as fast as with USB 3. I agree with Robert.

I have USB3 hub plugged into mine, and it works great. Then again, the USB ports on my MBP work also.

Im not sure about this. but you can try. maybe a wireless usb hub can help you accomplish the job
