What USB hub should I get for USB miners?

[xjack]

The 49 port for over $1000 is presumably priced and sold by Fried Cat.

LOL! 

[DPoS]

anker?

edit: for some reason, I thought you were trolling me with a random word. Googling shows up a bunch of usb 3.0 hubs. I heard USB miners and cgminer/bfgminer have problems with usb 3.0 though. Is there a usb 2.0 hub out there thats reliable?

I have a USB 3 hub going into a multi USB PCI card in an old WinXP rig which has been the most stable setup I've tried.

I like the 3.0 since they have more power per port but perhaps they work better when having to convert back down to USB 2

food for thought

No matter what USB hub I buy, I need to make sure to have an extra USB port for my new toy:

Notice the USB male plug is blurred... rofl 

Lol.. I found this while doing research into the 49 port hub.  

[dentldir]

LOL.

If they ever make a 256KB flash drive out of that, I'll totally keep a wallet.dat on it.

maybe this one

That was my initial choice. Here is another link to it with specs: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eecf/#tabs

Power Adapter
cUL, FCC
Input: 100 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz; 1.6A, maximum
Output: 5 V / 4 A
Cable: 1.2 m (6 ft.)

Only enough power to run 8

Ahhh, good catch and good to know

ports look like they are too close together to be side by side.

See the bolded statement above... it only runs 8.

The best solution for 10+ I've found so far is the Anker linked in this thread earlier.

Maybe this if you want to rack them

[elasticband]

the anker USB 3.0 hubs are the best if you are not suing PI.... you can run 10 USB on each hub. I had 76 erupters set up on 8 anker hubs via windows running on bfgminer perfect

^ Looks like it has 2 DC input ports.

Additional: AC adapter  US$10.00

Makes me think that you can use 2 5V/3A adapters to get 6A meaning it can run atleast 12 most likely 16.

yes you would most likely need an additional power adapter to get the hub fully powered.

oh boy! fap fap fap

4.5A @20V = 90W

[achtung]

Looks nice.
Is this charging port also data connected? This 2.1A would be perfect for powering the cubieboard i guess.

the anker 10 port 3.0 usb, it powers 10 hubs, tried and tested... does not work on a PI apparently

No it only provides power. You can use it for a fan though.

I'm getting 50 (and more in the future) USB miners. What USB hub should I get? No idea what is good these days.

There you go:

8 of these will power 56 BE Eruptors and will cost you $143.92. With a dollar per port = US 2.57 , there is nothing on the market that can touch this.



Best of all it, comes with a 12 Volt 5 Amp PSU

cheers,
kev

Can u post a link to where you got it?
