anyway forgot I had this beast from 2013 when I was gonna use a USB miner but never got around to it
I figure this will work fine but hey figured I'd better ask
Any USB2 hub will work, how well it works is determined by the power available. If the external supply is (as on the link) 3A then you could run about seven sticks at 150MHz (maybe only six sticks, or maybe you could run seven at 143MHz- it would probably be a little low for seven at 150). Probably you could use a higher current supply with the same hub to do much better.
Our high power hub is just an unpowered hub with beefy wires ran as extra power traces and a molex connector to the PSU for 5V in. It's crude but effective.
