IOGEAR - Hub - Black

I don't have a Mac, but I would assume a USB port is a USB port. I am using it on a Dell windows machine with only one regular USB port. I have my mouse, an external light and a passport drive plugged in. It has been working fine.

I'm not very savvy about such things, but I have used a cable, usb at one end and phone connector at the other end, to connect to my pc to transfer pictures from my android phone. I've never had a use for and external driver, other than flashdrives/pendrives. The usb hub with the 4 usb ports listed here, is not for the purpose you describe.

It will as long as the printer can plug into a USB port.

This is not a 'powered' usb hub. I cannot speak to using it for many of the devices you mentioned. I would advise purchasing a more powerful hub than this one. Or, roll the dice. I've been quite happy with it, but my needs are more simple than yours.

No, the cord it comes with can't be removed unfortunately.
