I bought a HB-U3CR Hub for my Mac which did not have any USB A ports. Plus the hub had a card reader as well. I noticed right away plugged in that it got pretty warm just at idle nothing plugged in to it. Then while I was transferring files to a USB drive it got even warmer. Even though speed is limited to 5 gigabytes. Sabrent was not very helpful other then indicating it was normal even though I read several reviews of early failures. I should have returned it but I didn't and few months later I noticed transfer speeds getting slower until it finally gave me errors on even recognizing the drives. I am convinced the heat produced probably killed the hub early. Can't prove Sabrent knew this was an issue but won't buy anymore of their products.
