Does anyone know, can a USB 3.x hub support multiple simultaneous downstream USB 2.0 high speed links? Like, could you get the full 480 Mbps on two separate usb 2.0 devices plugged into the same usb 3.x hub?

@noiob okay, i wasn't sure if the hub would be limited to a single 2.0 speed if it had 2.0 devices attached.... now that i think about it that's kind of absurd because it'd mean a 3.x device would be limited by it -F
@Felthry yeah USB doesn't work that way
@noiob some things do, like PCI the entire bus has to run at the speed of the slowest thing on it (which.... yeah good thing we have PCIe now)
I²C has a neat variant where the bus can run faster but a slow device can actually hold the clock low to force it to run at a slower speed

@Felthry if it's not complete shit yeah, it should work like that
