No pics at the moment, but I currently have this Anker USB 3.0 hub:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EYXZI4M/

Works fine, but won't work with RPi, I would like to switch over to a different hub that I can run on the RPi. I currently have four compacs running at 275mhz and I have two 2Pacs ordered.

I was thinking of getting this:
https://www.amazon.com/Superbpag-Portable-Charger-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B013OK10YM

Hoping to find something to work with the RPi and be able to provide enough power for the 4 compacs and 2 2Pacs. Hoping to crank these things up 300+mhz.

Put the USB 3.0 hub into a non powered usb 2.0 hub. That is how I go my Orico A3H10 BK to work. Could not plug it into my powered Orico USB P10-U2-PK

somehow, I was not able to run more than five overclocked Compacs on one Superbpag, but I did not try too hard.

For biggie(s) I am planning to use 300W PSU from my old HP500 tower that i upgraded to 500W.
It got PCie and biggie will get at least one PCIe connector. Should be easy peasy, I hope.
they sell on ebay for $25-28, great value, IMHO

You should be able to. Superbpaq supplies 2A for each port and works well with RPi.
You can push an original compac to somewhere around 340Mhz under 1.95A.

I've been running that particular A-300 non-stop since U2's were $75 a PIECE!!!

I can't even remember when U2s were still available, I started mining actively back when the U3 was still on sale and when you could easily get a Block Erupter for five bucks and shipping. Those were the old days.. Looks like a nice hub, illl consider it once I get my sticks

Old picture but this is still what I'm running. 10 Compacs on a single 10 port A-300 hub I believe it's a relabeled https://www.amazon.com/Sipolar-USB2-0-Bitcoin-Indicator-Powered/dp/B01K4LYX7U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486327095&sr=8-1&keywords=sipolar+A-300

$5 Purex 120mm case fan using a home made dc barrel to molex adapter 12vdc wall wart powering a $5 evercool single fan controller.

RasberryPi3 is now updated with Pixel and I followed Jake36 post to install novak's cgminer-gekko-rev2.

I heard those hubs broke pretty easily some time ago (don't remember when or where I heard that). Good to know that someone on the forum runs one of these hubs, once I get a few 2pacs and bit fury sticks I might consider this or the superbpag. Voltage is a little low on each port (5v600ma) compared to the superbpag but otherwise good; these also sell on eBay.
