What a joke. 2 ports and no aux power to them.
Got a tip for us?

Neverending quest for 10G usb-c hub?

If you connect 2 ssd/hdd’s with 2.5” enclosures, can you guarantee that they will work?
How much do you understand power delivery in usb?
I figure sense the Apple Pro PCie ports are powered at the port! It should support some cards power requirements!
Im not sure what you figured out, but usb hub communicates even in physical form as USB.
Meaning that the computer can give max 900 mA to the hub. Accoring to usb standard.
The hub uses this a bit and can pass the rest on to devices. Meaning that 2 devices which use over 440 mA of power, will not work.
Believe or not, good usb hubs do have a reason for aux power. It's not just for getting a bigger box to sell.
Maybe, maybe not.
Oh well,
I'm not looking for pci-card for classic macpro. I'm looking for reasonably priced usb hub. With the speed what should be the standard in 2020, 10Gbit/s, ie. usb3.1 gen2, and used for the next decade.
Or are you so funny that you suggest that I'll start to use some old cMP as an usb hub? Power consumption 200W it idle?
On your older Mac you get get 10G to your older Tower Sonnet Solo10g SPF PCIE pci card!
