Would u guys recommend this powered 4 port usb hub (MASSIVE SALE)
im about to pull the trigger…
Meh, looks like a typical micro USB hub you can find anywhere. In all reality if you’re going with a USB hub, multi transaction translators are top priority for performance.
mind explaining? i was about to submit my order when i read this
i mean it IS powered…
From wikipedia:
“To allow high-speed devices to operate in their fastest mode all hubs between the devices and the computer must be high speed. High-speed devices should fall back to full-speed when plugged in to a full-speed hub (or connected to an older full-speed computer port). While high-speed hubs support all device speeds, low and full-speed traffic is combined and segregated from high-speed traffic through a transaction translator. Each transaction translator segregates lower speed traffic into its own pool, essentially creating a virtual full-speed bus. Some designs use a single transaction translator, while other designs have multiple translators. Having multiple translators is only a significant benefit when connecting multiple high-bandwidth full-speed devices.”
Something to take into consideration depending on what you’re plugging into it.
i have the 4 port macally hub which is powered and rosewell 4 port non powered and works great
