Max number of android devices a mac mini can handle

i’m building up an internal device farm (security issues with cloud providers). currently planning on connecting 4 iphones per mac mini per an article[1] facebook put out.

has anyone used usb port expansions on a mac mini to increase capacity? if yes, have you run into any issues and found an upper limit to the number of devices you can handle?

we have 12 now. 6 iPhones and 6 Android. During test executions on all phones we have memory usage about 12Gb and CPU about 15%. So with 16Gb i guess we can add more :slight_smile:
