USB 2.0 HUB + 13 MEMORY STICKS QUESTION

skullsies · Feb 3, 2014

Is the xbox 360 compatible with a 13 port usb 2.0 hub with 13 sticks plugged in? Will there be any lag in the transfer of data between the sticks and the xbox?

usb hub

Can I use a usb hub with 360? I'm out of usb posts and have to use a usb memory stick in order to use my older game saves for my new xbox. I must say that it's a pain when you have two consoles that multiple people use. Is there a way to copy non-xbox profiles?
Either by xbox or computer?

Memory

so a usb 2.0 is the one i want?

Surely the console will only be reading the data off one card at a time,so i can`t imagine it would be an issue.

I use an 8 port usb hub on my ps3 without issue.

@THEOWENKILLER, thanks. I read somewhere while trying to do some further research on the matter that the xbox can read multiple sticks or devices at once. (playing a downloaded game on one device and reading saved game data on another, reading and detecting
multiple controller input) A customer at my store had asked me the above question and I was unable to give an answer due to my lack of knowledge in the matter. (why anybody would waste their money on 13 memory units is beyond me) I also read that the xbox
could read an unlimited number of usb's but anything above the number of 20 will cause your xbox to be slow at loading from the hub.

Thank you for your input, it is appreciated

The console will only see two memory units at a time.

Good grief that's a lot of usb sticks. I would think with all the money tied up into them and the hub, you'd be money ahead to just get the HDD.

What does that have to do with this situation? It doesn't work with the one memory stick in the hub and nothing else competing for power -- in the front port only. It works fine in a rear port via hub even when it is sharing power with other devices. The stick works fine in the front port directly, but not via a hub all by itself. Something is different with the front port. It all works like it should in a rear port.
