Here is a picture of the new Anker 9+1 port hub compared to the older Anker 10 port black/silver hubs. Also shown is a re-branded black Anker 10 port hub, the TeckNet 10 port

You can see the massive size difference.

So out of these, which hub should I get which can hold a lot of Blue Fury? How many can I hold? Thanks

I think I will go for the Technet hub which includes a 4A PSU, this should be enough for the 6 units I ordered.

I've had no probs with the TeckNet - I'm just amazed they have increased in price by £12 each Angry

What about the port spacings - Blue Fury's are thicker (fatter lol) than BES's, so don't really want to waste a port by alternating them
or maybe alternate them with BES's?

That hub only has a 2A rated power supply. 2A is only enough to power a couple units.

There are pictures on this forum of those hubs after people have tried to use an uprated power supply with them....the hubs melt, literally.

Do you think this one is big enough for the Blue Fury?

Port gap wise possibly not. The hub itself only has a 2A psu so you would only be able to run 4 max. Although if you only have 4 or less then it should be fine.

Over the last month I have blown 3 psu's on my Orico hubs, (the £22 model)
If you return them under the 24 month warranty, they will not replace the unit , only giving a refund.

New unit is £40 and identical.

A replacement psu on amazon (5A) is £6.50 So ordered a few spare ones.

The old units can go back for refund when the warranty period is almost up. By then my erupters will be redundant.

The new Anker hub ( 9+1 port ) is much smaller than the old hubs, I would avoid that hub if you are wanting to use BitFury USB's. The power is the same as the old hubs, but the spaces between the slots is much less.

You can get the old style Anker 10 port hubs but they have been rebranded. These re-branded hub are identical to the Anker hubs, same power supplies, everything

You're right Zammo - I have the old style 10 port - not the 9 + 1 (just noticed the difference).

I have a total of 6 units ordered. Anybody know what a good USB hub will be to run these on? Also which PSU should I use with the USB hub?

Anyone got some ebay links? Thanks!

I'd go with the anker 10 port hub - more expensive than the others but better quality - I have 4 of these and they are able to run 10 asicminer units each with no problems. I'm hoping they will have no problem running these new fury units too.

Power wise these are ok, spacing of the sockets is the problem, the Red/BlueFury is much bigger than an erupter.

What we need is a 50mm/75mm high, rigid usb extender. then 10 will be no problem.(anyone seen this type of extender yet)

I run 4 of these with no issue
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet®-Power-Adapter-Cable-Chipset/dp/B00DCO9YVM/ref=pd_sim_computers_5
the annoying thing they were on £22 when I bought them and they've gone up £12!

I also have 3 anker's 10 ports and they too are great --> sadly discontinued now

The new Ankers are 9+1 --> I've not used these

This one is good for 6 and use the 7th to chain. The PSU it comes with is 3A. It's cheaper on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0002AFZVM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Due to the actual size of these sticks, this hub will only support 4 plugged into the sockets, If you need more, then it will need extenders.

I think you will also find that the power supply will not be stable with more than 5 units. (using erupters, this hub starts to become unstable with 6, BlueFury is approx the same power rating).
5 should be ok, 6 MAY start to cause a lot of errors.
