I have two devices I want maximum throughput and latency with. (Midi drums and midi keyboard for example)
Would connecting both to the same USB port via a hub effectively limit the maximum data transfer rate to 1/2 to each of them?
I am assuming yes, but I didn't know if USB hubs had a handshaking and priority giving protocol available (e.g. let the device with the longer built up buffer of data communicate first)
Thanks
