Wouldn't this be better for 10 cents more?

I will preface that no electronics are BIFL. If you had bought a USB hub 10 years ago it would have been USB 2.0 max, maybe even 1.0. So even if it still works it'd be slow and maybe incompatible.

Anker is a good brand without breaking the bank. I have some of their cables and portable batteries. Staying within that budget you could get a couple more ports.

You also may want to look at "port replicators" which are a bit more expensive but offers more kinds of ports at once.

So here is what I have in my Tesla. Keep in mind that this is also being used with the Nomad wireless charging pad and I’ve had absolutely no issues since switching to this setup.

1. USB 3.0 Hub
   
   
2. MicroSD Card
   
   
3. Flash Memory Reader/Writer
   
   I previously fell victim to the repeated error regarding the read/write speed after the update back in the July/August timeframe. I can no longer find the article but there was a very detailed article on the subject with recommendations on the best drives etc.
   
   I can assure you 100% that this setup has worked fine for me without issue since purchase and that even involves having the wireless charging pad plugged into the USB hub. While it’s not quite as big as your drive it’s enough to last months without formatting it.

I always appreciate when someone goes the extra mile to 3d print their own case. although, aren't usb hubs already under $8? https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Extended-MacBook-Surface-Notebook/dp/B07L32B9C2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=usb+hub&qid=1573596004&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&sr=8-3

Heya!

I'm not really a beginner when it comes to computers but I've just stumbled upon something that I cannot explain and I'd love it if someone could provide some info.

The TL;DR is that I have an SD card reader (a cheap kingston one) with USB 3.0 that has pretty poor transfer rate in the read direction. But today I installed a new USB 3.0 hub (a cheap anker one), I've plugged the hub in the same USB 3.0 port on my computer and I plugged the SD card reader on the hub, and now transfer rate are soaring, almost 3 times what I used to have.

I've done a couple of tests, transferring a bunch of files to and from the same SD card and same SSD, with the only variable changing is the presence of the hub between the SD card and the usb port. The results are clear. With no usb hub, I have a 75MB/s write rate and a 25-30MB/s read rate. With the usb hub I still have 75MB/s write speed and I now have a 75MB/s read speed.

I'm puzzled by this. I expected to get lower speed when using a hub, not higher speed. Anyone knows what could be the cause?

The Jeda hub looks a *lot* nicer, but is clearly more money.

Decided to test these when I saw "1-4 players" on Sonic Spinball, and assumed it was played with 4 controllers, since I never tried multiplayer with that game back then. Turns out that Spinball's multiplayer is just sharing a controller.

All 4 Genesis Mini controllers (2 original + 2 RetroBit) connected to the hubs can navigate and activate menus/options/games in the game selection UI though.

Not sure if this is what you mean but:

Thank you kind sir or mam. Would something like this work?

You have room for a PCIe card?

These things are super clean rather than a dongle that hangs off the back.

Otherwise 2 of those are likely your best bet

Maybe a normal USB 3 type A hub with something like this might work?

USB to HDMI Adapter, USB 3.0 to HDMI 1080P HD Audio Video Cable Converter, Audio Output for Multiple Monitors, Compatible with Windows 10/8.1/8/7 (Grey) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJQG4BF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q1eCDb73XR3X1

I don't know if there will be lag due to limited bandwidth but it may be worth a try.

Then the MacBook will need a USB A to C adapter.

Was looking at this one, specifically.

USB Hub . Cheap AF for a 1 to 4.

USB Keyboard and Mouse

I don't know what it is about USB 3.0 ports on your mother board. They will work with your Oculus Rift for a few days or weeks and then just poop out.

You will probably have to buy a PCI-E USB 3.0 card to install into your PC or a usb3.0 hub.

Im sure you tried everything like reinstalling Oculus and driver's. I'm sure you even tried other usb3.0 ports just to have them work for a bit and then not. The only solution is this or this, which I have been using for a year
