You can have up to 127 devices plugged into a single usb port on your pc this way. You just keep chaining the hubs.
For slightly cheaper you can get an unpowered hub, but you're really not going to want to do that for more than like 4 connections. And especially not for ANYTHING that has LEDs or is complex like a joystick.

I ended up buying a USB hub that has an individual power button for each port. Then I just power down whichever peripherals I'm not using. Something similar to this.

This is the exact one I'm using (I made sure to get one that had a port specifically for charging so they didn't skimp out on current).

Yes yes yes. Use a powered usb hub. I ordered mine off Amazon. I started originally with a 4 port but after experiencing brownouts with trying to plug in 2 8bitdo usb controllers I upgraded to a 7 port hub and only have that plugged into the pi. No more brown outs or anything.

Sure, these are called "USB hubs".
If the device you want to plug into the hub requires power (eg external hard drives) then you might consider getting a powered USB hub. This is a special sort of hub that also has a power cord that you plug into a power point. This will enable the hub to provide enough power to the USB devices that you have plugged in rather than trying to draw the power from your PC, which may struggle to provide enough power if you gave several USB devices plugged into the hub. This would be especially true if you want to use the hub for charging things (eg phones, fitness trackers, smart watches, etc). Example.

I have tried this one but was unable to get it to work with either of my CAC readers. I figured it was something with CAC readers needing to be directly connected for some reason. I even tried logging on with my cac reader, the unplugging (which would only lock the machine rather than log off) and using the usb hub with my cac plugged into that, but no luck.
​
There are a few of us on my team in a similiar situation. We seem to be stuck with the crappy machines and noone has figured out any solution yet so I was hoping that NAS would work. I've just never used one before and don't know if I can access it without Internet and without admin privileges so I don't want to spend that money without some kind of assurance, if that makes sense.

Oh, you can do that!? So, have the USB powered huh connected to controller port 2, in addition, instead of the AC adapter connected two hub? Can do both i mean? If so, that's fantastic idea!
Here's my USB powered hub. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G8CMR18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased one of these to get extra power to the keyboard and it’s working fine. The lights are not dim on it at all. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G8CMR18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_BOK7EbH4TJT0C

One big benefit for me is that USB gives midi in and out over one cable. This let me swap about 20 MIDI cables, an 8 way merger and my 25 way splitter with 10 USB cables and two usb hubs:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G8CMR18
EDIT: I presume you know this, but for anyone else following along, you need 2.8 firmware to use MIDI devices over a hub, and to support midi input and output (earlier versions are input only and no hub support).

Here you go and sorry for the slow response ... Link to a single hub and the second link will be to a search results page.

I have one TP-Link USB 3.0 hub from Amazon. It has a good amount of negative reviews, but it's been working fine for me. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Including-Charging-Compatible-UH700/dp/B00OTK16FK
The other hubs are Atolla hubs. They've also been working fine for me. https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Charging-Individual-Switches-Extension/dp/B07G8CMR18

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G8CMR18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought this one and its been perfect for my WD passport 4TB and 12TB elements drive I also have my G20 remote and mini keyboard connected to it no issues
also never use hubs that have no power adapter because the more usb devices you connect to a hub you will have issues cause of insufficient power

I got the wires in the back
Usb hub is attached
2 PCs are matte black
Got the cables that're long to match
​
Seriously though, I've got this one and it works great.

I'd get a powered one, the usb port may be able to power one hub and the devices, after that, it may not be able to send enough to power all devices at once. I had three hard drives plugged into my four port hub (like the one you linked to) and it had problems, but when I switched to a power hub, they were fine. I have 7 port hub and 4 port hub. I got them when they had crazy deals on them.

After researching, I went with an Atolla, 7-port USB with charging and power supply for 30$ shipped!

I am trying to create a NAS. I''m looking at using a HDD enclosure like this, not necessarily this one in particular. Would something like this interfere with my ability set up a samba server, because it is also a RAID controller? Is it possible for me to use the USB-c power connection of my Pi 4 as a data connection also? Or am I looking at just having to power each 3.5in drive using external power? Would an enclosure linked above even work to provide power to the Pi also?
Additionally, I want top use a powered USB hub and just sata to USB cablesto power my 3.5 HDDs, would that work or am I just stuck using an entire power strip for this one project?
