Should I be getting a powered or unpowered USB hub?

Thunderbolts to USB and to unpowered hub. I been testing it out now, running fine

Good thing PCs just have USB ports on them

I and most of the people I know use these

Belkin AC Powered Ultra-Slim Series 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub (F4U040v)

Powered, currently 8 bucks on Amazon, and rock solid (at least in my experience).

I use this one, the one Ean recommends and uses himself (super cheap also)

I went ahead and purchased this along with a Chroma Cable (Tangerine). I'll let you guys know how it works out for me!

PSA: Don't cheap out on these, fried two brand new Macbook's and a harddrive with a cheap powered usb.

Doesn't recognize it whatsoever, or doesn't recognize it in the software ?

This was discussed a while back on the Pioneer forums and was a case of Traktor being an issue rather than the hardware (although it does say no hub in the manual).

doesn't matter what the reason.

The DDJT1 doesn't work with a powered hub.

So the point is watch out for this problem when using Traktor with any other controllers.

I run 2 X1's and both my Midifighters off this no problem.
