- USB 2 Hubs
- Posted by mansfield.andrew@gmail.com on March 4th, 2007
Hello all:
I have about ten USB 2 drives hooked up to a computer that does a lot
of work with video.
Are there really any differences in USB 2 hubs? If I have disk
access
to several drives going on through a hub things slow up. Is there a
hardware solution to "switch" bandwith better through certain brands
of USB 2 hubs? I'm willing to pay a lot more to get several good
hubs . . .
Any help is appreciated.
Andrew

If you are just going to access one (or 2) drives at a time
any USB2 hub should be fine...
But if you are going to be using or transferring data on or between a number
of drives
at once...then IEEE1394 is the way to go

Add USB2 cards to your PC to get the number of ports you need. Multiple
drives on a single hub will definately hurt performance.
Firewire would be an improvement. Firewire 800 even better. eSata the best.
