🔌 Cable Matters SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub with SD Card Reader in White - 3 Port Option Review

*Update* After I wrote the following post, Cable Matters contacted me, helped me solve my problem, and shipped me a new unit. I am very satisfied with their service and my new center. It works very well. The USB ports work fine, but the SD card reader keeps rebooting while the memory card is inserted. I tried several memory cards and had the same problem.
