We also added an inline fuse to the regulator's fly lead. It gives 2 USB charging ports. One is for my dashcam, and the other goes to:
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Y25XFGK A 4-way USB hub which I fitted at the same time for the Auto and to make it easy to charge phones etc ... this is obviously optional (the 2nd USB port on the buck regulator would have been enough just for the Auto, but I wanted to be able to charge phones too).
Fair enough. I prefer having the PC on the ground, while using a USB hub like the one below to allow me to easily plug in devices without having to reach:
My USB set up is (Let's see if this text formats correctly ...):
Left Port AW15R3 --> Dell Monitor --> Anker Hub --> 2x Oculus Sensors, 1x MS Controller Dongle

> Common wisdom says you can connect 4 drives per header before you start experiencing any real performance dips.
Does that mean I can attach 4 external hard drives on each of the available ports on PC, so in total 6x4=24 hard drives? If yes, would that affect any performance?
Because it’s a wired connection. Legit just plug a USB 3.0 hub in to you USB port on the side of your Xbox. By hub I mean a usb cable with a couple of ports attached to the other end. usb hub That’s what I’m talking about. Then you could use any high end keyboard you want to.

Q: So the cases I've been looking at (Corsair 100r, 400c, SPEC-03) all have 2 USB 3.0 ports. My keyboard and mouse will take up both of these ports leaving none for my bluetooth receiver for headphones/other uses of USB. What is the best way to increase the number of ports? If I use this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Release-Anker-Ultra-Slim-4-Port/dp/B00Y25XFGK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1464628237&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+dock) and connect everything to that, will that have any negatives in performance/speed/danger? Or is it better to get a big 5.25" thing to go in the front of the computer (where you would typically get a cd-drive: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EasySMX-Multifunctional-Internal-Reader-Support/dp/B019GFJ604/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464628433&sr=8-2&keywords=5.25%22+front+panel)? I've heard for that you need extra headers(?) in the motherboard? For reference I'm planning on getting the Asus H110M-K motherboard. Thanks :)

If I was to purchase the following item:- (Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Ultra Slim Data Hub)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-4-Port-Ultra-Drives-Devices/dp/B00Y25XFGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522181116&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+3.0+4+hub
Does that mean I can attach 4 external hard drives on each of the available ports on PC, so in total 6x4=24 hard drives? If yes, would that affect any performance?
When it comes to Pool I found out about: https://burst.cryptoguru.org/ not sure if that is any good?
Also when using Turbo Plotter when I have multiple HD's does it auto detect "nonce" or does it need to be done manually?
This is the Hub that I use and I haven't had any issues
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-4-Port-Ultra-Drives-Devices/dp/B00Y25XFGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503074120&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+3+port

Might be the wrong place, but whatever.
If I get a USB 3.0 USB hub, will it work with a keyboard, mouse, wired Xbox 360 controller and a headset?
Specifically this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Release-Anker-Ultra-Slim-4-Port/dp/B00Y25XFGK/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1468740490&sr=1-1&keywords=usb+hub
This isn't the first time I've read of an issue with the front USB on an X. Sounds like there could me a minor issue with them.
This guy seems to have power but no data on his front port
https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/7bivn7/tech_xbox_one_x_front_usb_port_doesnt_work_with/
Looks like you have data but no power (it detects the controller but won't charge)
You could get a hub for the rear ports, something like this;
