Hi everyone. I have a cheap USB3 hub with a couple of external drives (one USB2, one USB3) connected but when I sleep my mid-2012 cMBP the whole lot wakes up again a few seconds later. If I leave it be, there is a bit of powering up and down of devices. Eventually if I open the MBP at least one of the USB drives has been improperly ejected, upsetting OS X.

Is this a common issue, or only with cheap USB3 hubs (Anker USB 3.0 4 Ports Hub)?

Wish I'd stuck with FW800 now...

Grateful for any advice. Thanks.
