USB Root Hub & Generic USB Hub

Hi,

USB Root Hub

USB allows for a lot of devices to be connected, but they all share the same bandwidth. Some computers will install more than one base port(called the root hub) to allow you to spread your devices across more than one root hub.

You can’t tell from how many USB port plugs there are on the computer as each root hub can handle a lot of them.

Some systems will have separate root hubs, where one is USB 1.1 only, and the other is USB 1.1/2.0 compatible. The reason is that some 1.1 devices will not work with 1.1/2.0 compatibility, mostly these are very old USB devices.

Some systems that have USB ports on the front will have those on a separate root hub

Generic USB Hub

The Generic USB Hub is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port.

I would suggest you to follow the link.

Hi ;

This does'nt answer my question.To clarify more my question:

Will it work fine if I connect let's say an external hard disk , a printer ,a camera ,or a mobile phone to my laptop through that generic USB hub ? If not what is exactly the purpose of installing that type of hub.? Thanks

I think it all depends on how much power they all use, USB 3 gives you more power from what i understand, and more speed but I'm not sure what is the maxim power you can consumption.
