Icron supports USB hubs for connectivity and power management.
Icron supports USB hubs for connectivity and power management.
No one has shared their experience with the icron 3124 as used by Linus. It's unclear whether a USB hub would work or if you're restricted to the four ports it provides. Your current hub seems limited, especially since it only functions when one USB port is connected with Icron.
I haven't tried any Icron products yet, but I glanced through the manual since I was thinking about purchasing one. It notes support for up to three USB hubs, but it doesn't clarify the limits. I'm looking for a clearer detail such as a bandwidth cap. Have you considered if your motherboard is the issue? There might be a bottleneck in the USB controller.
