Does anyone know why the USB 3.0 hubs don't work on a Raspberry Pi?  This seems to be an issue that is block eruptor specific because other people on the internet seem to be able to use USB 3.0 hubs on their PIs.  EDIT:Would the Juiced Systems 13 port hub work on the raspberry pi?

Another question: would it be possible to just buy the cheapest well-built hub available and replace it's PSU with one that can output enough power?  USB cables have the power totally seperate from the data so the only things in the hub that should have extra power flowing through them are the wires connecting the input power directly to the USB ports.  Am I right?  Please tell me if I'm wrong because I plan to buy some cheap hubs from eBay to try this out.
