You need a USB 3.0 hub if your computer has at least one USB 3.0 port and you either want more ports or want those ports in a more accessible place. 

Moreover, many laptops have only one or two USB 3.0 ports, often alongside USB 2.0 ports. Also, many desktop computers have USB ports in difficult-to-reach locations.

FYI: USB 3.0 ports and devices may emit radio-frequency noise that can interfere with devices using the 2.4GHz wireless band (e.g. wireless mice and keyboards that use RF dongle). The noise can be emitted anywhere along the USB 3.0 connection.

Good USB 3.0 hubs are compact, reliable, and  have many well-placed ports.

The second best USB 3.0 hub: Anker 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub (less expensive than top pick)
