Sorry if I missed the answer. Will hexfury start on regular 500mA USB2 port? If yes what is the hashrate?
Edit: gridseed chip in dualminers consumes only 1.5W. It seems there is other reasons than power budget to not add up another chip or even few.
You should (but not guaranteed) get Hex running on 500mA port however I can't say how well and how stable its going to run. 500mA is way to low and shouldn't be used to power Hex. The design of Hex requires sufficient power to be delivered otherwise your device will not perform as or above advertised speed. Just to give you quick idea see below.
- 2A+ hub will give you 12.5GH-13.5gh no OC
- 1.5A hub will give you 10.5-11.5GH
- 1A hub will give you 6-8GH
- 0.5A -Don't even bother as may get strange problems.
With OC, Hex will use around 2.4A @ 5.6V and will give you 14.5-15.9GH.
Edit: Just to add one thing, is is very bad for your Hex to be run on 500mA port. If all chips will get initialized, its fine, but if one or 2 chips will not get initialized properly(which is very likely on such a low power), the other chips will get overclocked automatically and will get very hot and even unstable.
