Hi guys,
New to the mining scene but I have done some reading this week about mining in general, how power supplies work (I had no idea what rails were previously) and my particular question(s). I'm sure any questions here will be simple ones if anyone doesn't mind holding my hand briefly..
When considering USB hubs and the wattage they can support, does that have any effect on my desktop/laptop? In other words, say I am using a hub that is 90W, 20v 4.5a. Is there going to be a drain on my pc or laptop as well or is the draw going to all come from the hub's power and my computer is merely providing a place for the data to go?
When looking at something like the Antminer U2
http://buy-antminer.com/antminer-u2 should I mainly consider the W requirement or is there more that I should be considering? Would something like this Anker USB hub
http://www.ianker.com/product/68ANHUB-BV7A be able to support 7 of the Antminer U2's?
Thank you in advance for any responses!
