BitMaster Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 a AC powered one, preferably USB3. dont get a non-powered hub and dont get the cheapest you find.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
