Do any mini owners use a USB 3 hub? What works well for you? I read somewhere (can't find it again now) that some hubs don't play nicely with new Macs.

And same question for a 32 GB USB flash drive--I ordered the SanDisk Extreme, then cancelled my order right afterwards when I saw on a forum that some users had trouble using it with a new Mac (can't remember if it was with a mini or a MacBook Air).

I'm using a Belkin USB3.0 powered Hub that I bought from Amazon.com. I have been using it for about 3 weeks with no issues with external usb3.0 drives, iPods, iPads and flash drives.
