USB 3.0 Extension speed

[peeeej]

if i use usb 3.0 extension with 4 ports and plug it in a usb 3.0 socket, do i get the speed of usb 3.0 in EACH port from the extension?

Not if all of the ports are being fully utilized at the same time.

nope. not possible.

bandwidth is shared.

Ohhhh alright. So basically, two ports being utilized at the same time will have a speed of 2.5Mbps each, something like that

2.5Gbps each yes.

but bandwith is also dynamically allocated, so if one port needs 4Gbps, and the others only need 0.5Gbps, then the one that needs more can get more, as long as the total is not more than 5Gbps.

 

(Also it's Gbps (Gigabits per second), not Ghz.)

You would also run into power issues, when using a hub.
