Best USB hub?
I’m looking to get a new usb hub. I know there are a certain type to look out for but can’t remember what its called. There’s ones that use the same USB channel for different ports or something and can cause confliction between devices, and ones that use separate channels for each individual ports & these are the ones to go for.
Can someone shed some light on the situation for me?
Thanks
multi transaction translator (multi TT) is the keyword..
Here’s a good list of USB hubs confirmed by manufacturers to be multi TT. I’m using the Belkin F5U237 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub With Power adapter with no problems so far.
