+It's widely believe before raspberry pi 4 (that includes zero 2), they had nasty USB controllers,
+while they may (is there a case otherwise?) work well for keyboard, mouses and thumb drives,
+they may not work as well as expected for devices that need more power.
+.LP
+Also note that, USB controller can crash (is it a hardware limit?) if it gets too hot,
+using a heat sink and fan is recommended if you are you are going to use that raspberry pi's USB (which sadly, also includes ethernet, since it uses USB).
