In fact, I don't think I've bought a decent USB hub in 7-8 years. Even Anker, who had been reliable, have let me down. I've had to resort to much more expensive options, like Docks and extremely expensive hubs like THIS one.
Just to toss in my little bit, I've found when there are intermittent problems and a USB hub is involved, almost every time it's the hub that's causing the problem. There are a lot of bad USB hubs out there.
