I just recently took the time to check an old WD USB hard drive that I was sure I had used to boot from previously, so I connected it to my old small seff-powered Belkin USB hub and proceeded to boot my mid-2011 27" iMac using Mavericks and it worked just the same as I recall.
A bit slow but it allows booting and worked quite well, and I know it isn't a USB 3.0 hub, but I understood they were all supposed to be compatible.
Maybe the gentleman may want to update his data and spreadsheet. Just a thought.
I just didn't want some readers thinking they couldn't use their USB 2.0 hubs with a USB drive to boot from.
I think that I made it quite clear that the gentleman in question tested USB 3.0 hubs. I don't think that he needs to "update his data" based on your irrelevant test of a USB 2.0 hub.
