![]() ![]() Now, 7 standard USB 3.2 ports EACH should be able to supply power at up to 0.9 A, and that totals 6.3 A. Each port has its own on / off switch and indicator light, so you CAN turn off a device at the Hub without disconnecting it. All its ports are Type A suited to this speed limit. This is a USB 3.2 Gen1 device only - max data rate 5 Gb/s, and that rate must be shared by all devices connected to it. A good example of this type is this from Atolla That is, it DOES come with its own power supply module you MUST use to give the Hub enough power for multiple devices, and it does NOT get power from the limited ability of the host mobo port. That is what you call a "USB-C Hub", but I would call a POWERED USB 3.2 Hub. So the cautious answer to your query is: get the OTHER type of hub. Further, there is the POSSIBILITY you might add something else to the load, maybe even by using the pass-though port on your keyboard. The caution is that we do not really know the max power consumed by ALL of your devices. Many devices such as those you cite use little power so you can connect three of four to ONE USB 3.2 port via such a Hub. That power is at 5 VDC and limited to not more than 0.9 A total load. What you call a "USB 3.0 Hub" is what I consider a USB 3.2 Hub that does NOT have its own power supply module, and relies entirely on the host mobo port for power to be shared to all its connected devices. Your only concern at this point MIGHT be NOT to use them now and save them for POSSIBLE use in future. However, your mobo says it HAS two USB4 Type C sockets on its back panel. From your post, OP, you do not have any and do not need to worry about them. These use exclusively Type C connections and intend to achieve even faster max rates of data transfer, but there are not a lot of devices on the market for this yet. The latest developments in the USB field are the introduction of USB4 systems, now in two Versions. Gen2x2 can move data up to 20 Gb/s, but you MUST use Type C connectors to get that. SOMETIMES items like this may be called "USB 3.1". It should be fully able to get that max speed with Type C connectors. It can work with Type A connectors, but may NOT achieve that max speed this way. Often you will see items sold as "USB3" or "USB 3.0", and that normally means this Gen1 variant. ![]() Gen1 can move data up to 5 Gb/s, and works just fine with either Type A or newer Type C connectors. There are three speed ratings common now. ![]() That speed normally is actually much faster than the real performance of the device. Right now, all these things are named as USB 3.2 Gen n devices, and the n part specifies the maximum speed the unit can communicate data. They have changed several times, and the result is that many descriptions you see are out of date and incomplete. But first, an update on labels for USB3 devices. I use slightly different labels for things. ![]()
