Afternoon Norman I honestly think, from experience not from a technical standpoint, that any storage device attached through a hub is likely to perform intermittently at best. This is, as I have been told by those who know more than I, due to a combination of the hub not correctly filtering the datastreams, and an inadequacy in the USB 2.0 protocol. I have rarely managed to successfully attach storage devices other than directly to a PC mount ie not through a hub.
Other devices like keyboards, mice, webcams etc seem to behave as expected. Perhaps, if sockets permit, try putting the card reader directly into one of your PC mounted sockets and run the keyboard and mouse through the hub.
