Will both ports work at full speed simultaneously?

I really haven't checked the speed of the card, but I haven't had any problems using both ports simultaneously -- no perceptible slow down with my equipment attached.

They do! 5400 rpm drive to 5400rpm drive I get 65-75 Mb/s minimum using both ports.

it should, the splitter will only read 1 connection at a time. use an ab switch.

I cannot definitively say, but I would assume that the mac would throttle down the speed to match whatever is hooked up to it. At least that is what PC's do to make newer ports "backward compatible".

That's pretty much a given. If ur using usb 2.0 to connect you can't have speeds higher than the usb 2 limit.

I never thought about doing simultaneous transmissions across all the ports on the hub. My guess is it would slow down, because we know that one port affects the others. Anker makes it clear, for example, that if you plug a USB 2.0 device into the unit, any 3.0 devices plugged in will perform at only 2.0 speed. There are multiple inputs, but only one output to your computer. Think of five hoses plugged into a sprinkler -- the water will not come out 5X as fast. That's my best guess, but I'm not an engineer.

No. With only one DP port, it can't do that. You would need a hub or additional outputs from your video card

The adapter supports port multiplier functionality which is what you'll need for this to work. So yes, this should work for you.

Yes, both digital ports can be active. However, you cannot use the VGA port and either digital port at the same time. Hope this helps.

I'm using two Seagate 4TB drives with this card and they work fine at full speed (same as the motherboard SATA).

I am not sure, but if you couldn´t just plug both ports, it probably means it isn´t possible, since there is a single "on" switch...

The hub has separate connectors for USB 2.0 and 3.0 that go to your motherboard USB headers, so the performance will be dependent on your mobo chipset, not the hub. Modern chipsets have a dual-bus design to allow the two specs to operate simultaneously at full speeds. Remember though that not all USB drives are created equal and chipset performance can vary between mobos.

You can but not together. The port that the devices attach to will only accept one device at a time.

I have never run into any noticeable speed issues with this USB hub. If you have two or more devices plugged into a USB port through this or any USB hub, AND if both those devices were transferring data at the same time, the technically speed would be compromised. In most cases, though I think this would be true even if you were not using the hub, but just plugging multiple devices into multiple USB ports on a computer. All communications ultimately has to "fit" onto a single communications bus in the computer.

I believe all 4 ports work at once. The reason I say that is: My card always tries to enumerate all 4, and, because only the 2 eSATA are in use, I get a 30 second delay every boot.

Unless you have a thunderbolt splitter which to my knowledge doesn't exist, the answer is no. However, check out the latest Belkin mac doc which does as it has two thunderbolt ports.

Two front 3.0 ports, and I'm thinking you mean compatible, so the answer to that would be yes. Works great for me!

Do you mean plugged in at the same time? If so, I have not figured out how to have both the card and my mobo's onboard to work at the same time. If you mean you just want to plug speakers into it, then yes, they do work.
