| Jul 12, 2016 at 18:18 | comment | added | Adam Wykes | I suggest using two or more controller devices to get to your 8 device maximum; this should allow you to save money. For example, you could get one of these: newegg.com/Product/… Much cheaper probably even in Finland due to the lower PCI-E width. Then add one of these: newegg.com/Product/…, which will allow you to add ports if you have an onboard 3.0 header that's going unused. | |

Added info on USB channels

| Feb 1, 2016 at 8:34 | comment | added | Joachim Bratteli | @DJMcMayhem Both 1x7 and 2x4 should work as long as they have individual channels for each USB2 port. I could use one channel from the mainboard USB controller for the eight device. | |

| Jan 29, 2016 at 19:43 | comment | added | DJMcMayhem | I can't find any with 8 ports that are still being sold. Would one with 7 ports work? Or would 2x4 work? | |
