Do you know of any hubs that keep all the ports on a single level?  I already purchased and installed a 2nd RaspPi and have 20 miners on each, but in the future it might be helpful for others that want to control more from a single unit (which I bet it can since 20 miners only results in around 10% utilization).

Probably too expensive but here is a 49 port designed for continuous enterprise use:


How about 2 of these?:  http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10307&cs_id=1030702&p_id=6436&seq=1&format=2

One for each of the Raspberry Pi's 2 ports?  We should be able to conceivably connect up to 48 miners per RPi...  Anyone had any experience with these or know its internal topology?

Monoprice 24-port hub has 7 ports at the first level, 3 of those connect to 3 internal 7-port hubs. The total comes to 25 ports (4 remaining at the first level, + 3*7 at the second level), not sure where the 25th port is though. Anyway, good news is that Raspberry Pi can access all 24 ports. I have not connected miners to it yet, but tested with a USB flash drive. Will follow up once I do a real mining test.
