The docs say:
For the Pi 4, a fully-featured host controller drives the downstream USB
ports. Downstream USB is provided by a Via Labs VL805 chip - that
supports two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. This is connected to
the BCM2711 SoC using a PCIe link, which is extremely fast. Therefore,
the Pi 4 does not have the same speed constraints of previous models,
which means very fast data transfer rates, especially when using the USB
3.0 ports. All connected USB 2.0 devices are connected via an internal
hub which connects to the upstream PCIe link via a single USB 2.0 bus,
giving a maximum combined bandwidth for all USB 2.0 devices of
480Mbits/s. All four USB ports on the device are connected to the USB
2.0 hub, whilst the USB 3.0 ports (blue) are ALSO connected to the USB
3.0 bus via the USB 3.0 specific pins in the socket. USB 3.0 devices are
constrained only by the total bandwidth available over the PCIe link.
So it looks like I am using 2 separate usb 2.0 ports and our friend
might be better ditching the hub and doing the same if he has similar.
