Hi,

Bought a USB splitter but as my portable hard drives have no power source, they are not connecting right as the hub does not have the juice to hold 4 at a time.

This is not working for me:

Is there any solution to a USB 3.0 hub that will support multiple HDs without their own power - perhaps one with its own power supply.

Would thius suit for 5/6 external drives to a single USB connection on my PC?

Anyone know if Amazon orders are now being hit by Brexit rates beyond advertised price?

Many Thanks!

If you have multiple portable drives then chances are you need a better solution.
