Re: Now that usb sticks are being sold by sidehack here is a new usb hub thread.

Hi Guys, How about this Orico Usb3.0 60w 5A Usb Hub with 13 ports?

I´m planing to connect 3 sticks(2 pac BM1384) and a USB Fan.

Also for me, living in Brazil, it´s easier to buy in aliexpress than amazon (they don´t ship to Brasil most of products)

USB 3.0 is sketchy with the Compac and 2Pac sticks, so try sticking to USB 2.0 hubs. I did some looking around on the aliexpress site and came up with this one:

You can put the two 2Pac miners in the 2.4A USB Hub ports (there are four total data ports) and you can plug the fan into one of the other non-data ports.

It's not cheap, but then his current ports that also pass data are kind of odd and are scarce.

Hum it´s nice, I havn't found this brand before, seems pretty good.
But for the price range, I think the Orico 20 Ports 300 Watts it´s a best deal: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ORICO-30-Ports-Industrial-USB2-0-Hub-for-TF-SD-U-disk-Data-Test-Batch-Copy/32812709736.html

Only .5A a port is pretty bad, to my experience I have run these miners just fine on 3.0 hubs. They cost a little more than 2.0 hubs but they're necessary for real OCing. As for the brand, ORICO is a decently good manufacturer of hubs. Never had issues with them, just always make sure to check amps per port.
