Hi folks just wondering if anyone has any experience
with usb3 hubs (4 or 7,8 port) and the new ivy bridge
macbook pro's (non retina).
I have a new non retina macbook pro and need a usb3 hub
from what I read online a lot of these hubs don't work
very well with apple's implementation of usb3.

Any input would be appreciated.
 
Have a read of this:

Are USB 3 hubs supported?
Hubs that conform to what is commonly referred to as the "2008 version 1 USB 3.0 specification" are supported.

How do I get the best performance from the USB 3 ports?
The first device you plug in will configure the port, so always connect USB 3 capable hubs or devices first.

What happens if I plug in a USB 2 device into the USB 3 port first?
If you plug in a USB 2 hub first, all devices connected or "daisy-chained" to that hub will operate up to the maximum transfer rate of USB 2 speed (480 Mbps).

According to this thread Plugable Technologies hubs should work with a firmware update (details in thread).

I assume its the sleep/wake issues you were worried about?
