Cool, another Mount Hub Pro user. The first thing I did when I got mine was to take it apart. Inside it looks like it was assembled from spare parts in someone's garage. The case could certainly stand improvement as well. I also replaced the USB cable (the one that plugs into an internal USB B socket) with a better one.
But I do like the functionality.
I velcroed the Mount Hub Pro to the Versaplate. I even have my ME itself plugged into the hub and only one USB cable running back to my computer. The ME's serial port is connected to the through-the-mount serial port up to the Versaplate panel and then via an Optec #19671 serial to USB cable to the Mount Hub Pro. And I have the USB cable from the computer to the Mount Hub Pro wired up through the mount.
So far the only thing that really annoys me about the Mount Hub Pro is that I have to re-power it everytime I reboot my computer or whenever I unplug USB cables then plug them back in, otherwise it can't be found after the reboot or cable replugging. It only registers when first powered on, not when the USB cable is unplugged and then plugged back in and not when the system starts up. So I sometimes have to re-power it as needed via a web controlled power switch.
