External USB 3.0 Hub ,can it behave normally or ideally?
I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite L535 laptop that comes with built in USB 2.0 ports. From my understanding, a USB 2.0 port can provide a maximum of 2.5W Power Output (5V x 500mA) and a USB 3.0 port can provide a maximum of 4.5W Power Output (5V x 900mA). Please tell me if I have a wrong cognition.
I am thinking of purchasing an external USB 3.0 hub and connect to my existing USB 2.0 port on my laptop. But after connecting the hub to my current USB 2.0 port, I wonder if the ports on the hub perform ideally as an USB 3.0 port by providing a maximum of 4.5W Power Output. I chose a used brand as a keyword to search online. I conclude two choice as the followings:
Amazon.com: [10 Port usb3.0 Hub] Unitek USB 3.0 Hub 10 Port with 12v 4a Power Adapter a to B Cable Compatible with Windows Vista / Win7 (32/64-bit) and Mac Os 9.x or Latest Version: Computers & Accessories
Amazon.com: UNITEK USB 3.0 Hub 4 Ports with 5V 4A Power Adapter Power Switch USB 3.0 cable, Support Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / Mac OS X 10.8.4 / Linux, Black [VIA VL812 Chipset]: Computers & Accessories
If I prefer the gadget with more ports, is there any limit for the number? Or the less the better?
Please advise as you wish.
