Ozark Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Hello I have run out of USB Ports and need advice on what kind of USB expansion hub to get. Thanks Ozark

I got one of these in May. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FF7DHH2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I have my stick, throttle, rudder, MFD’s and mouse going to it without a single issue so far.

For joystick stuff, or DSD/Bodnar boards of the world, USB2 works just fine. So if this is just for flight sim peripheral, any powered USB with good reviews will work. I have this one mostly because it has separate power switches. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Ozark Posted August 10, 2019 Author Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks Guy's I went with the 3.0 version, because I need to move cad files from my home computer to my work computer. Ozark

Ozark I know you bought one already, but another option is to buy a pcie usb expansion card. They're dirty cheap, like 10-20 EUR/USD and provides 4 ports with molex/sata power. Added benefit is that you can toss a hub on those 4 ports as well ;) Just in case someone else checks this thread in a few months :)
