Question about powered usb hub - noobie

Sun Aug 18, 2013 4:12 pm

Hi,

I currently have a Raspberry Pi B running Raspbmc as a media center and it is pretty darn good!

I have a powered usb hub connected to one usb port, and my wireless keyboard connected to the other.

Can I connect another powered usb port (instead of the keyboard) and have eight total usb connections?

I am building a media box with one powered hub connecting the 3 hard drives (each with own power supplies) and a free port for expansion.

the second powered would be built into the exterior of the case to hook up the wireless keyboard, wireless internet, and two free ports to use as needed.

Thanks in advance for any advice :-)
