I have read and it is my experience that external hard drives, especially powered external hard drives, should be connected to their own port. I think this is due to both power and data transfer rates. Putting a hard drive on a hub with any other device will slow down the transfer rate at bes

Hi Desiree, Is this USB Hub only plug into the computer to get its power or, is it a powered USB Hub and plug into a wall outlet socket to have AC / 120 volt power as well? If it is not a powered hub, the USB port might not be providing enough power to the Hub to sufficiently run the external
