will the ankers power 10? they're rated at 4a and i thought they only powered 8 of them thats why people plug in a usb fan and a daisy chain to another hub.




Glad to see some competitive pricing going on. Im liking the lower price. Might order a few soon.

I would be pleased to take your order. I will be the best price period. Thank you.

So tempting. These prices! I have a total of 25 now ordered. How are you guys connecting these? 10 on each hub?
Yes. Try the Anker brand USB hubs that hold 10 that have a better power supply than cheaper hubs. I will post a link later and maybe a picture or two.
Specifically this Anker USB hub listed here http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-Uspeed-10-Port-Adapter-Aluminum/dp/B007ZWFKX8 . I have had no problems running 10 miners on this one style only. It has a 12V 4A Power Adapter plus Smart chip power management allows devices to communicate idle states and latency tolerance for progressively lower power states and subsequently increased performance and power efficiency. Most USB hubs are less than 4A . The trick here is that you get the 4A(which wouldn't quite be enough to run 10 miners) AND 12V(instead of common 5V) which is plenty together for 10 miners.
