I was very exited when I received my pine. First impressions were really good! But I discovered that one of my USB ports was dead. There Is not even 5V(I tested an sub fan). I contacted the support but I didn't get a response yet... So I hope I will get contact to someone of the support team this way...]]>

Because hub is self powered and has no back power protection I was thinking this way to make somehow protection from over voltage coming from hub.
Is it OK or just a SF thought ?

According to my USB meter, I've seen the voltages of the USB 2 ports vary between 4.77 - 4.94V. Typically, 4.89 - 4.92V.

The amperage is 0.07 - 0.08A for the flash drives I've tested. 
For keyboard, mouse, or powered hard drive, it's 0.00A.
I don't have a working wifi dongle, yet...]]> This is not a complaint, but just FYI for anyone who wants to know. I've had zero issues with the Pine's USB ports.

With such a fast processor, and the gigabit Ethernet option, hobbling disk I/O through a USB 2 interface is really going to kill the overall performance.

Yes, the MicroSD support allows for faster I/O and allows pretty high capacity. But then you're dealing with the limited lifetime of flash -- ~10,000 writes, and with large block sizes, you hit that faster than you'd think, especially with a media center.

Making at least the host controller USB 3 would be a huge performance win.]]>

How many USB Controller have the Pine64 ?
The two USB 2 port are shared in the same controller or not ?]]>
