Delock 61898
USB-B, 5 Ports
Bewertung für Delock 61898
There may be other USB hubs which are equally good, however, for the time being I'm very satisfied with the Delock device.
I have selected the Delock USB Hub to
a) power a Raspberry Pi via its charging port and
b) to connect and power a 2 TB WD MyPassport disk containing WAV files.
The Raspberry Pi is running Mate 15.10 and the actual Squeezebox Debian server release and the WAV files are also accessible to a Sonos system. The goal was to have
1) a music server always online and
2) to use as low overall power as possible.
The total "system" is using 6.7 W when the MyPassport is asleep and 8.8 W when the disk is turning. The "system" is running since 2 weeks without any problem and replaces (as a music server) the Synology DS214+ which eats up 28 W and more.
Pro
- Charging port to power e.g. a Raspberry Pi.
- Adds a power switch to the Pi (no need to unplug the cable when powering the Pi down).
