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.  |

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. |

Don't be a wanker, switch to an Anker!! ps: you might wanna keep yours cleaner than i do. i know somewhere out there in the world, an OCD person is beating their face into the keyboard after seeing all that dust.  |

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. |
