Answer» Hi
I WANT to run USB on at least two computers at the same time , do you have a solution to that?
Thanks? A Shared USB Device ?

If its to share a USB attached hard drive, I would suggest avoiding that and instead create a share from one COMPUTER with it attached for the other to access the drive through a network share vs 2 or more computers switching between access to a USB Drive of any kind. I have HEARD of DRIVES getting fouled up from USB switches mainly when data is being written to them from multiple sources. I have seen them work fine for sharing a PRINTER.
I myself dont use USB switches but instead if multiple systems need access to a printer or drive, I create a share and then have all systems connected to everything I want through a share which is free vs buying box to do it. Only catch to the switch box vs the share is that the share requires the system that is sharing device(s) to be on to host the sharing.
