I got mine at the last price drop of $820 and filled out my library nicely last month between the Steam and Oculus sales. I'm more than satisfied with it now but here are my recommendations:
So….. I might be a little nuts to even attempt this but a redundant storage array has been a long time want/need after many years and many failed hard drives causing sad faces. I was going to build a glorious file server with lots of cores and CPU’s and RAMs and on and on but money is always a hurdle. So why not with a RPi I thought to myself. After a little research it appears it’s something that is achievable using a few 2.5” USB hard drives and some software easily available for the Pi. I guess what I’m posting here is a suggestion thread. Am I crazy? Will it work? Should I do things differently? What have you tried that has been successful?
Parts List
USB Hub (powered) will fuel the Pi for power and hard drive connectivity.
RPi3B
SATA to USB3
25mm fans to cool the crazyness
I plan to build a case using a CNC I own. Show in the photo attached.
I use this one, been good to me for about a year and a half so far. It also has external power, probably recommended if you plan to plug so many things into one USB port.

It's pretty straight forward:
This is the exact one I have: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E6GX4BG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had it already and it worked fine for what I needed. I think pretty much any USB 3 hub should work (maybe somebody else knows for sure?). FYI - Hubs only support peripherals, not hard drives for expansion.
I think it's this one.
I'm hooked up to this one and everything has been functioning properly.
Thank you. The switch has a beveled top, so it seemed logical.
I agree completely. I find most nintendo games impossible (or at least frustrating) to play without the matching console controller. SNES/NES being obvious exceptions. I've got one of these to deal with all the adapters for real controllers on my emu/htpc station.
If you're averse to drilling into your desk like I was, here's what I used for my cable management with less room to work with than you, OP.
The Basic Stuff
2 x 40" Cable management sleeves- $14
30 x adhesive cable management clips- $7
50 x reusable velcro ties- $8
2 x Cable management bins- $23
The strongest double-sided 3M tape you can find- $10 at your local hardware store
Optional, but highly recommended
AmazonBasics Premium Dual Monitor Stand- $190
AmazonBasics 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 12V/3A Power Adapter- $27
AmazonBasics 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter- $17
So would this fit all the power requirements? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-Power-Adapter/dp/B00E6GX4BG/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1525210325&sr=1-4&keywords=powered%2BUSB%2Bhub&th=1
Get one of these, I have the Amazon one at home and it is totally worth the price. I have it at my home work station. I have my external hard drive, DAC, Blu-Ray drive, and occasionally some USB storage devices or my iPhone's

or you can also get a 4 port from Monoprice which is cheaper.

I still suggest the Amazon one, totally worth the money
OK So I tested my amazonbasic hub. Ableton couldn't identify my Launchkey MIDI through the hub. I had to plug it in directly. But once it was detected, I was able to use it as a basic controller through the HUB. This was all without plugging in the hub into a power source. I get the feeling if it was plugged in it would have worked but I didn't get a chance to test that.
So without power a hub will work, but not as well as powered.
This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-Power-Adapter/dp/B00E6GX4BG
I have this amazon basics 7 port usb 3.0 hub. its powered and I have both sensors in it with headset in the computer, have never had any issues.
There's actually a number of Amazon Basics USB 3.0 hubs. There's a little 4 port one, a 7 port one, and a 10 port one. I'm assuming the underlying tech is all pretty similar, so it's mostly just a question of how many ports one needs.
They're extremely common... Here is one example.
I had the same question. I bought this Amazon powered USB hub w/ 7 ports. I got the powered one because my external DVD/Blueray player said it needed one? But I use the port for 2 HDD, 2 wireless dongles for keyboard & mouse, 1 DVD drive, and something else I can't think of right now. The steam controller is still hooked into the bottom of the unit's USB port and I use the front USBs for plugging in wired xbox controllers. Anyway, it works fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6GX4BG/ref=twister_B00FB50S0Q?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
I would probably recommend using an active usb extension cable cable like this and a powered usb hub.

I'm particularly fond of this one. May need to get a longer cable though its USB 3.0 A to B
Hey, can you check in your bios if XHCI handoff is disabled? If so, could you try enabling it and see if it makes a difference? Also, non of my ports worked for me, but this this Amazon hub did.
I have this usb hub plugged into my surface dock. The hub's completely full and I don't have any problems.
If your going to want to to switch the hub between the surface dock and another laptop, you'll either just need to unplug the usb from the dock and put it into the generic laptop when you use it, or you can use a usb switch. Just have one end of it just a usb for your generic laptop, and the other into the surface dock, and you can press the button to switch. Depending on the number of shared (shared as in easily switching back and forth. not using at the same time) peripherals you want to use, you could just get a switch with multiple usb ports
