Short evaluation- DO NOT BUY THIS HUB.
Long evaluation - I bought this hub, thinking 90 watt, 20v, should be able to handle up to 30 usb eruptors, without a problem, but .....I just received mine and right off the bat, you could not run more than 12 miners in it, any more than that and the additional ones do get recognized, do not get assigned a com port number , but neither bitminer, nor CGminer, can run. In addition, the hub is split into two 10 port hubs internally (It has two usb cables coming out of it (one for the left 10 and one for the right 10)). I took it apart, and there seems to be a spot for a 2nd power adapter on the PCB, but there is no plug receptacle, I may put one in there, but there is some soldering involved and I am not the best at that. Having one cable plugged into the PC from the hub results in the hub identifying one set of 10 USB eruptors running with no problem. Plugging the USB cable in the 2nd usb port results in the other 10 being recognized, but when you plug in both, it looks like it recognizes everything (all 20) until you run CG Miner. Then CGminer crashes and you cannot run. it will work with up to 12 USB eruptors in it, in any configuration (6+6, 8+4, 10+2) but any more than that and cgminer crashes. Now, to be clear, I am running CGminer with other hubs (two 7 port and one 10 port(and more than 12 USB eruptors, so I know its not a CGMiner configuration issue.), plus, bitminter doesn;t recognize more than 12 as functional either.
Save your money, this hub is not the answer for running 20 USB miners at once (even though I wanted it to be.)
I finally received this hub 3 days ago and it's a POS.... so I definitely confirm Garfield's conclusion. I wish you had reviewed ot before I bought it.
it looks solid and promising but it can't handle more than 15 and runs hot. you also get unpredictable stoppages on Eruptors.
