It's 2016, but find a hub USB 3 seems difficult.

Guess I'm of an age where I need grandchildren to send a few years so that they can longer hold the technology of their grandfolks...

Have spent time not a little online shopping for a usb hub powered to an iMac that reviewers find reliable and - this is the problem that I don't have the knowledge to understand - will support an auxiliary hard drive without cutting into the speed of the drive. I am a bit taken aback that people report problems of reliability and compatibility here in 2016, and even less accurate recreation the USB socket at the back of the iMac via a hub powered and wired to a few inches apart.

Recommend a product?

Very grateful.

I have a powered hub Plugable (bought on Amazon). It's USB2 but I remember it being a USB3 version with reasonable comments.

I think that people are more likely to write a comment if they have a problem so exams can be negatively biased a little.  I read the reviews, but I also analyze them.  A bit of any product may encounter problems for one thing, I'm looking for, that's how the company manages these products.

Another thing to keep in mind is how the hub is intended to be used. If someone posts a bad review because they tried to load 8 iPads to a hub powered at the same time, well I think you'll be lucky to find a hub that can do.  Hubs can have many ports, but the power supply is usually limited and not designed to provide full amperage to all ports at the same time.
