I have two Orico USB hubs, the powered one has four 3.0 ports, and the unpowered one has one 3.0 port and five 2.0 ports. If I plug the powered hub into the pc then chain the unpowered one into it, will the unpowered hub run into power issues if I plug high-power-consuming devices into it? And does it make any difference if I switch the hubs order?

    Many have PTC or poly fuses that can self reset, so a port may briefly stop working. Some are built into the hub ICs or are in the form of a surface mount resistor
