It's looks like the same generic made-in-China-special 10-port USB 2.0 hub that's all over the Bay and the Zon (comes in a variety of colors) that can be had for cheap. What makes your offering special to command a price that is more than twice the prevailing interweb market price that also offers free shipping? I'm just curious. Thank you in advance.

That hub would be lucky to run 4 block eruptors. It has a 2A 5V power supply, all usb asics are 2.5W, or 500mA which is USB spec.

Please DO NOT send me private messages asking for help setting up GPU miners. I will not respond!!!

It just needs a beefier power supply. Once I get mine in I will find a supplier with 5v4a or 5v5a to handle 10 usb asics and then make a combo. Some people already have, or know where to get, bigger power supplies for cheap. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I don't trust these hubs at all. I've fried a few USB Block Erupters on them. They only run 3 erupters with the power supply it comes with. You can buy these for like $8 on eBay. I switched to the Rosewill 10-port hub ($25 a hub). They work great. I have 45 miners running on 5 hubs without a problem.

Yep! I have a few of these hubs but only use them as daisy-chained hosts for the hubs with the BEs. The wall wart that comes with it is cheaply made; I wouldn't load them to the theoretical max of 4 BEs (4 x 0.5A = 2A). Any power supply shouldn't be loaded to the max anyway. They become less efficient and produces more heat (a direct result of wasted energy). I make it a point to load them between 50% and 65% which is close enough to peak efficiency (50%); up to 75% tops if I'm in a bind and find the need to push them.

I consider the $14.99 entry level or on a budget.

I'm sure some of you are already aware of this but Nemo1024 has done an amazing job compiling valuable data about hubs here and are discussed extensively.

Got the manhattan to hold 6 anything more shuts down the whole hub, not sure about messing with the electronics to make it more powerful.

It looks like the RHB-500 has a 4amp psu while the RHB-520 has a 3.5a psu. If you have already been running the RHB-500 i would continue with that model.

You're right. I was thinking the RHB-500 only had 3 amps for some reason. Anyways, I will probably buy a few RHB-500s from you. Where are they being shipped from? Shipped via Priority Mail?

It varies, but its always 2 days, on very rare occasions 3 days. If you order before Sunday night it should be there by the 2nd. If you order in the next couple hours maybe even the 1st.
