I have two related questions.
1. how do products like this meet their claims. They are using a PCI x1 (assuming gen 3) slot which according to wikipedia the max data throughput is 984MB/s (converts to 7.8Gb/s) and the usb 3.0 SS that they claim to have is 5Gb/s. So how does this product manage to fit 7 of them on the x1 slot. What happens if you try and push more than that down the pipe?
2. how come you never see x4, 8, or 16 cards that support a ton of usb ports or am I just not searching hard enough
I am in the process of creating some test equipment that will be pushing a ton of data which is why I am looking into this in the first place. While I understand most USB devices dont use the standard to its maximum but I will be.
Please be nice, this is my first post here.
