Hey there, I’m checking if there’s a limit to how many USB drives you can connect to Windows 10. Also, do different versions of Windows 10 affect this? Just let me know if you need advice on where to share this info.

It relies on how many USB controllers are installed. In theory, you could have up to 127 devices per controller, though performance will drop quickly. You’d also need to supply power externally for each one. No.

I have several hubs that hold 30 slots, but I’m considering whether to look for a motherboard with additional USB ports instead.

These hubs don't raise the upper limit for connected devices; the cap remains at 127. They also don't boost bandwidth. What's the reasoning behind running numerous USB drivers? Will they use SSDs or HDDs? Are the cases compatible with UASP? UASP is a method that cuts down on USB protocol overhead when dealing with storage. Without it, you're essentially getting roughly half the maximum speed—so for USB 3.0 that's about 2.5Gbps instead of the full 5Gbps.

My dad operates a modest web firm that develops apps for logistics firms. They aim to skip smart cards since acquiring a system costing around 5,000 to 6,000 DKK would be necessary. https://www.lisledesign.com/products/hyp...d-rack-120 I considered using a mini PC with a PCIe USB expansion card, but the thought of routing it back through the OS or motherboard seems impractical.
