Don't buy that 5V-8A-40W power supply above because I did and it's only good for 4 erupters 2Amps and this is because it's not a regulated power supply.
I'm not sure, but the other 5V-5A below it probably isn't regulated either.

For those wondering what's the difference between a regulated and a non-regulated...
with a non-regulated the more amps you draw the greater voltage drop.
with a regulated power supply there's minimal or no voltage drop, which is important with the erupters.

Very good info Grin

Thanks dyingdreams & merv77 !!

Was just hoping to get an adapter either brick or wallwart with more power,I have plenty of hubs.I hit Radio Shack & Best Buy today..........nothing worth while Sad

Gonna have to be online order.
