Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0
wabasso@lemmy.ca 4 months agoOk that was legit.
Do you had recommendations for powered USB 2 and 3 hubs that are decent quality? I’m so sick of plugging things in and they don’t have enough power.
Sabrent. Bit more money, but I like the ones with built in power switches per port (handy for testing disconnection events), and the build quality is solid. Power supplies they provide can be a bit bulky, but I mount them in my rack so its not really a problem for me.
Anker I like for their slimmer powered hubs, but those mostly sit in my laptop backpack, not the daily driver on my home office desk.
Thank you!
I see that getting one with a power adapter increases the price a decent amount. Do the models without an adapter at least have a connector so I can provide my own?
Depends on the model, so you’ll have to take a look at each. The really big ones usually have a port rather than a captive cable, the smaller ones it varies wildly.
