Does the USB 3.0 port work with an external USB 3.0 HUB?

I don't know, and I don't have a USB 3.0 hub to try. Their FAQ says nothing either way: http://www.caldigit.com/thunderboltstation/faq.asp

i can't say because I've only used it with Thunderbolt. However, if I had to guess, I'd guess that it would work with USB 2.0.

I have used two of my USB 3.0 ports to use it. One for power the other for data.

I assume you mean USB 2.0, in which case yes, it would work. 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

It uses only 1 - USB port. I have also used a USB 3 hub and it worked that way as well.

The included cable will work with both USB 2.0 and 3.0. You can tell if it's using 2.0 or 3.0 because the cable glows a different color depending on the speed of your connection.

unknown, but all I can say is give it a try it works with almost any type of usb 3.0 system after the drivers are downloaded.

I have USB3 hub plugged into mine, and it works great. Then again, the USB ports on my MBP work also.

Can't say. The hub doesn't require a driver so software issues would only occur if your USB3.0 card uses a driver that doesn't like it when the number of ports are increased, or has an onboard controller chip with the same issue. Best bet is to contact the manufacturer of your USB card and ask if it has any issues with having a USB3.0 hub attached.

it does transfer with 3.0 speed. however, I have found that attaching a USB straight to my 3.0 port transfers faster than connecting it to this particular hub. that being said, I have had no problems with this hub, and I recommend it to others. It has completely met my expectations.

USB 2.0 peripherals are backwards compatible with USB 3.0, so yes, it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, it works with USB 2.0 with an exception. If you connect it to a non-powered USB 2.0 Hub it does not always work. It always works with my USB 2.0 powered hub and it works when I plug it directly into my computer. It is much faster with USB 3.0 Port. (I don't have a USB 3.0 external hub so don't know how it would work with that). It comes with a USB cable that is around 1 foot long. The USB Connection on the drive side is "micro B". I have five of these drives (4 1TB drives and 1 500GB drive) and I did manage to "break" one of my USB cables. Costs about $7 to replace the cable through Amazon. I take the drive from home to work almost every day so I am always disconnecting and reconnecting the drive. I use a CaseLogic case when I'm transporting the drive and I may have bent the USB cable when I stored it in the case.

No. All the USB 3.0 share the same bus at 2.5Gbps. The ports controlled by a singe 4 ports Fresco Logic FL-1100 USB 3 controller.

Not 100% sure. But I do know the transfer speed is less than 20mb/s. Very disappointing for a 3.0 USB

It has been my understanding there is no compatibility issues with USB devises going from 2.0 to 3.0. With that being said all my USB hubs are 2.0, so I have no way of verifying. Wish I could be a greater help.

yes. you can connect USB 3.0 devices to a USB 2.0 port... It will run at 2.0 speeds.

Yes. USB 2.0 devices work in USB 3.0 ports - they just aren't making full use of the fast transfer rate.
