what USB powered hubs would you recommend for running several at a time ?

Any brand name USB hub will work fine for the purpose of mining. To be the most effective mining using a USB hub try to go with a 7 port hub. Companies like Tek Republic or Rosewill offer the best price on 7 port USB hubs.

I am currently using an Anker 9-port USB 3.0 HUB with no problem. It runs 7 Erupters, 2 BFL Jalapenos, and 1 USB fan with no problems.

Depends on how may, since one miner has 2.5W at 5V, that means it consumes about 0.5A of current, so you need usb adaptor that can supply 0.5 * num_of_miners amperes (it is usually written in the description) and also it'd be good if you took one with some reserve .. say 0.5A - that way it would not run at maximum power all the time

when in doubt, bigger ps or power on hub/switch with several usb slots on it.

USB ports can only supply limited DC power. Sometimes a two or three port passive (no power supply) USB hub can be useful, but don't expect a seven port hub to operate without a separate power supply. If you're inventive, you can construct a battery power supply with parts from Radio Shack so that you can occasionally operate away from utility power.

You'll need a USB 3.0 hub to connect more than one more device. There is no daisy chaining hub built into the LaCie.

For me I found external hard disks worked, but I would get short term disconnects. I replaced my hub with a Anker hub and haven't looked back:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSLMTQ8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

One drive-likely no problem. You could try attaching 2 drives and might be fine, I am not sure. Again, to be safe, buy a "powered"hub.

All I know is this. It is non-powered hub. Works for multiple flash drives *as many as three have worked at the same time for me*, but if you try external hard drives you will run into difficulty because there is insufficient power from a single USB port to run multiple devices that need more power. t

I have not tried it with a powered hub, but would be very surprised if it did not work

Doesn't matter. It is a serial connection, USB 1.1 would work. The bigger question is if your USB cable is active / if you go over 15 feet you may have issues with a passive extension cable. You could place a powered hub in the middle and that would work out OK...

Yes, I'm using it with one now. But it will need two USB ports (unless you buy the power supply), and a hub won't work. You need a card or the original ports.

I don't see why not. I have 2 external drives running on mine. One powered by the Hub and the other by it's own power source. All 3 of yours have their own power source.

Not at all. These do all the work so your system doesn't have to. You do need a VERY good powered USB hub especially if using more than one.

I don't see why not but u can probably use one and use a USB hub Asus makes a nice one that I use. I don't know what ur plans are but they also have hubs that go up to 8 slots. But i see no problems with what ur trying as stated before u can possibly loose some speed if its reading or writing..let us know if it works otherwise I will update this as I need to order one more for my sons PC which I can test out what u suggested

Mine works with my Powered hub, but I have to unplug it when I boot or reboot as it causes the boot to hang.

I continuously run two 3GB external hard drives and occasionally plug in a third and never had any indication of a problem. Since this hub has an external power supply I doubt that you will have any problems. It is an exceptionally well-made hub.

I use a mixture of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. Everything I have connected to this hub worked as expected.

But how would you add more than one external drive? Would you just use a USB hub?
