12-Port USB 3.0 Hub: Half-Past, Half-Present
March 24th, 2011
Here’s a fairly future-proof hub for USB-gadget hoarders. Chinavision’s Warp Speed hub has 12 ports, 6 of them USB 3.0 compatible. Unless you’re really an early adopter, I think that’s more than enough.
As you can see, the hubs are fairly widely-spaced, so you should be able to use all 12 ports at once. Now you can finally set up the one tablet, two printers, two mice, three external monitors and four keyboard rig you’ve been dreaming of!
You can order the Warp Speed 12-port from Chinavision for appx. $41 (USD); you’ll get a discount if you buy multiple units (in case you have 24, 36 or some other multiple of 12 gadgets you need to connect). It’s temporarily sold out right now though. Better round up your USB gadgets while waiting for it to be available.

I bought the warp speed •12 port USB 3.0 and 2.0 HUB.
It has a windows flaw. My new ASUS 73 a1, will turn on but windows will not boot with the hub plugged in. Chinavision is no help in the matter. They did say return it, but I am not sure if they are going to apy for the shipping.

You say your OS will not boot with the hub plugged in.
Try disabling “Legacy USB Support” in your bios and then boot.
I had to do this to boot with an external usb drive connected.
Worked great for me.
