Recommend me a USB hub
This last 2 weeks has seen me invest in 2 kontrol x1’s and a vestax vci-100, now i only have 4 usb 2.0 ports on my laptop and i need 5 to run everything ive got, anyone recommend me a good usb 2.0 hub which isnt going to break the bank and is for sale in the uk please. thanks in advance
i am in the same boat…can’t use my external HD…i saw a powered one on amazon…let me go look for it…30 bucks or so…
There was an article about this a few months ago. I’ll try and dig it up…
Here it is:
Chances are you have more digital dj gear than you have available USB ports. Between controllers, sound cards, USB lights
Est. reading time: 4 minutes
My suggestion is get a multi TT hub, preferably a powered one..
Here’s a thread with confirmed multi tt hubs.
I have the F4U017 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub with power adapter, but only use two of the seven ports on it.
