Title: USB Hubs for USB Miners
Post by: WuLabsWuTecH on July 28, 2013, 04:21:40 PM
I know that the Anker 10 port/9port usb hubs work well, but I was wondering what luck people have had with other USB hubs?

The Anker's are running about $60 for 9 ports right now and I was wondering if anyone found any cheaper options out of the box?  (Yes I know you can custom wire up hubs and power supplies but I'm not looking to do this.  I just need one or two hubs to speed up testing of these miners before shipping since I can currently only get 4 right now!)

Thanks for anyone's experiences!

Why dont you use an usb 2 hub simply? For example this (http://amzn.to/16qwkxh) 10 Port hub? Its way cheaper and the psu only provides a bit less power. But im not a pro...

I've had 6 USB erupter miners running in an $11 digital innovations 7 port hub 24/7 for weeks.
