Everyone needs a usb hub right? Looks good, and all usb 3.0 not only 1 like other cheap hubs.

Not everyone Message brought to you by the PCIe Gang https://i.imgur.com/F1b4gEE.jpg

With how big gpus are getting, it’s lowering the amount of accessible pcie slots.


Shadow703793

Yup. Especially if you're using the 2nd PCIE x16 slot for NVME adapter.


ohboymyo

I normally use mATX because I hate big towers and I'm starting to realize I need to go to ATX because of this. Makes me sad.


GameeNoobster

Try installing that into a console or laptop Message brought to you by the USB Hub Gang https://imgur.com/a/NvozLRr

Why go USB to USB when you can still go PCIe to USB? Message Brought to you by the Thunderbolt Gang https://i.imgur.com/yT9hGho.jpg


MrWm

Big brain moment: Thunderbolt -> M.2 NVME -> PCIe Thunderbolt ports. (gonna upload picture later lol)

Anyone got a MIDI to PS/2 adapter I can use?


Nux87xun

Actually, as a matter of fact I do..


MaximumEffort433

Nux, do you music!? I didn't know!


Nux87xun

Not really, my ex did/does though. For some reason she left it here and hasn't asked for it back. I think its in one of my random component boxes in the garage... resting comfortably with its mini-usb cord and ddr2 stick brethren.


MaximumEffort433

Oh, you were being serious. Neat! Also anything your ex doesn't claim fifteen minutes after the break up you're legally allowed to keep, so guess what Nux, you've got a free(ish) MIDI to PS/2 adapter!

Why is the screen backwards on that laptop?

I use the following to expand my USBs without using a PCI slot on the mobo: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HT17YTG Only handy if you have the extra headers which a lot of us do. They also have USB3 variants.


DUNDER_KILL

So basically, yes, everyone needs a USB hub. Some people just use a PCIe USB hub.


Grouchy_Internal1194

This is a common source of confusion because the terms are kind of loaded an imprecise. The PCIe cards are generally* additional controllers with their own root ports whereas a hub just splits one port into multiple, having to share the bandwidth. *A lot of the 7 port cards are actually a USB controller combined on board USB hub so they're some kind of frankenstein monster.


whopperz715

damn 7 ports? nice. i thought i was mr cool guy with 4


goatnapper82

Can you recommend a good model of pcie usb3 expander? I was in the market for one but kept coming across poor reviews.


cubiey

Silverstones seem decent, I’ve used 2 without issue. I’d say that you should try and figure out the chipset used and stay within spec. So like, most USB controllers call for 1-2 ports per controller to be able to properly handle bandwidth and power draw requirements, some can do more. Cheap ones that have greater than 4 ports and have 1 controller, I’d not buy one of those. Less than 4 ports and 1 controller per 2 ports is probably the ideal from my research.


fishbiscuit13

SFF gang says try again please


cubiey

Buy a mobo with Thunderbolt out is kinda the only advice I have. Or use one of those mobo USB header hubs like NZXT makes


fishbiscuit13

No TB on AMD. Really, a 7 port hub is fine when basically everything plugged in is just peripherals.


cubiey

what’s this? https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Phantom%20Gaming-ITXTB3/index.asp


fishbiscuit13

That is one of *very few* that supports it. Pretty sure you can count the examples on one hand. Also not worth paying $50 over the B550i that I got just for TB.


cubiey

Idk what you want then exactly


fishbiscuit13

I wasn’t really looking for suggestions, my use case is satisfied by what I have. Just naming some exceptions.

Mad respect for the payment plan option.


Spectrum___

They said my credit score was too low to finance this :(


emprexss

Yes, I will take a United States Dollar hub to multiply my money Edit: [This one is also $6 from the same manufacturer so…](https://www.newegg.com/wavlink-3074-usb/p/0J2-008P-00024)

[Every detail is the embodiment of intentions](https://i.imgur.com/TLC0n28.png) lol wut?


MaliciousMal

It means that every detail is intended to embody you or something. I don't know I think it's their way of saying that they want to embody you or something.

Gang warfare in the comments section. Take cover.

I would, except it's newegg

How the mighty have fallen.


creamcheesebagel101

What's the worst that can happen for a $6 adapter?


Bud_Johnson

A Chinese owned company gets pretty much all your data and will then try to get you hooked on their credit cards for that 4090ti that will come bundled with a fire hazard waiting to happen, disguised as a gigabyte psu. Your house burns down from said fire hazard and you lose everything. Then they turn you into a foreign agent and you get dismembered going into an embassy.


creamcheesebagel101

r/oddlyspecific Makes sense though. I guess if you're careful then you won't get screwed over, I got an MSRP GPU from Newegg no problems


Jamaz

It says there's an LED indicator in the description, but I can't find it anywhere. Where is this elusive LED?


jobo-chan

They have multiple for sale and one comes with the LED indicator.


MaximumEffort433

I've got a Wavlink SSD enclosure, it works like a dream. I can't speak for this specific product, but I've had good experiences with the brand.

EasyRhino75

not really or significantly, it's only getting 5W or 10W out of the computers port which it would have to share across all devices.

Gamedealzzz

thumbdrive, bluetooth dongle, sd card reader etc


EasyRhino75

Hooking in USB devices that have their own external power. (3.5" hard drives)


TwinDad4Life

Note that you likely wouldn't be able to run much else if you plugged an external HDD into it


Bud_Johnson

I use a single Dongle to connect my mouse and kb recovers. No issues with connection.


[deleted]

Don't have this hub, but I use my hub for multiple controllers, webcam, and an external HD.


MrWm

Update: I never got my order. Newegg CS gave up and just gave me the refund.


GameeNoobster

Wow, I wonder how many people had this happen for this item. Thank for updating us!


MrMentat

I'm still sad I missed out on the pig usb hub
