Yes, that's the theory. The USB2.0 hub that I referred to never worked under Linux at any speed. And 2.0 was also backwards compatible with 1.1.

Don't forget that USB3 is backwards compatible with USB2, so even if something goes wrong with your 3.0 setup, the "big drive" will work just fine via a 2.0 port. I'm backing up my Macbook Pro (running Ubuntu) onto a USB3 drive connected via a USB2 hub built into my Dell monitor, connected to a USB2 hub in my laptop stand, connected to a USB2 port on the machine. Works fine.
