USB Ports.

| 1 | Its about new PC time. I need to have about 8 - 10 dedicated USB ports. Currently using a USB hub and its not that successful, often get hangs and non starts on the most essential ports. Will a new PC have this number of real USB ports available? Win10 OS, and I have to stay with Windows for some applications.

| 2 | . No laptop will have that many ports. A desktop could have extra USB port cards installed but you'd have to get that done, (and that wouldn't/ couldn't happen on an all-in-one desktop). Just use a powered hub. Then you shouldn't have problems. Is your current USB hub powered? Edited by nice_lady at 11:08 am, Sat 8 May nice_lady - 2021-05-08 11:07:00 |
| 3 | Depending on what you buy, a desktop can easily have that. My seven year old desktop has six USB ports at the back and two at the front. justinian1 - 2021-05-08 11:14:00 |

Not a laptop. And yes it is powered. One particular application is noted for running its USB connection really hard out. kenw1 - 2021-05-08 11:20:00 |
| 5 | A friend of mine ended up with a high end Asus motherboard for all his USB needs (Sim racing kit, VR headset all other peripherals). Just found the motherboard, it has 11 USB type A ports on the back. This would mean building a new PC around this motherboard, but it is possible. cube_guy - 2021-05-08 12:28:00 |

| 7 | I have never said anything about a laptop, currently use a desk top but its getting a bit hiccupy. kenw1 - 2021-05-08 13:28:00 |
| 8 | Have a look at the gaming motherboards, for example the Gigabyte Z590 AORUS ULTRA On that I'm counting 12 USB ports, 1 USB-C, and headers for another 6 USB and 1 USB-C (you'll need cables to a backplane bracket). gyrogearloose - 2021-05-08 13:28:00 |
| 9 | I'm using an old Small Form Factor Dell 7010 which has 10 ports; 4 on the front and 6 on the back. tygertung - 2021-05-08 13:31:00 |
