That's probably fine. My rule of thumb is to not PLUG higher end hubs into lower end ports. e.g. a bunch of USB 3.0 devices in a hub that connects to a USB 2.0 host.
Ben, Makes sense to me.
But it sounds like your board has some of the fancier new ports. I bet it's listed as a single port because newer USB speeds can do a multi-lane thing for higher speeds. I bet both connects are tied together so if you leave one empty you might actually get the full 10Gbps. But using both simultaneously will probably throttle each to 5Gbps.
I'm not concerned about data transfer rates, but preparing video tutorials.
So it should be fine. You aren't doing any serious data transfers or AR/VR so it should handle things. Test and verify the hub when you get it since they can be wonky. Especially the bigger hubs, 10 external ports is the pinnacle of hedonism.
I assume AR and VR refer to audio recording and video recording? If so, that's just what I want to do. Thanks, Rich
