Get more USB ports?

Post by sebbe »

Hello!

I have one question about the Bubba server.

Is it possible to connect an USB hub to the Bubba to get more USB ports? I today have two printers and two external harddisks that have USB connection. Therefore I wonder if it possible by the hub connect all four devices and get them working trough Bubba.

Have any one used som similiar solution with Bubba?

An (/some*) USB Hub will work, but keep in mind that

- You will share the bandwidth amongst devices connected, so split your drives evenly over the two existing Bubba USB ports.

- Don't draw (excessive-) power from the Bubba's USB port, use externally powered harddrives, or use an powered hub!

*note
Cannot guarantee that all hub models will work, but chances are fair that most will.
A hub from Belkin WILL work (as it does here ;-)
