Can you connect this to a hub to run multiple drives?

Installed now one printer and one usb pen drive . It works but it is slow . With many drives i can't test now because the drive should be formatted by the nas and i don't have another one that i can do it now . Maybe some day and then i'll let you know

Yes, either a switch or hub will enable you to connect multiple devices. If it is a secured connection each device will need to pass the appropriate credentials (name/password).

The hub has a 12 volt, 2 amp power supply. I assume the amp capacity is divided among the 4 ports. You'd need to find out what the current draw is of the external drive to be sure.

I have never used it for that purpose but I don't see why I can't be used that way. It's a very good hub and I have plugged an external dvd player, an external hard drive, a printer, and a memory card reader and it does run all of those items.

It depends on how many drives you will use simultaneously. If it is only one or even two, you will have no problem powering them. However if you will use more than two drives, you should consider buying an externally powered USB hub.

Yes. The redundancy level will vary by the number of drives but you can certainly start with 3 and add more later on.

i've looked for all kinds of ways to hook multiple drives up to see if the card handles different drive address but i don't have any way to hook more than one drive at a time so i can't answer the question yes or no. other than windows having a limit to the number of drives it can address, if you had some sort of sata hub, it would seem that the number of drives would be handled the same as usb devices connected through a usb hub. i did a search of amazon for some sort of sata hub and came up with this. LaCie eSATA Hub by LaCie i have no idea if this would be of any use to your situation. sorry for not having a definitive answer for u. i've looked for all kinds of ways to hook multiple drives up to see if the card handles different drive address but i don't have any way to hook more than one drive at a time so i can't answer the question yes or no. other than windows having a limit to the number of drives it can address, if you had some sort of sata hub, it would seem that the number of drives would be handled the same as usb devices connected through a usb hub. i did a search of amazon for some sort of sata hub and came up with this.

All I know is this. It is non-powered hub. Works for multiple flash drives *as many as three have worked at the same time for me*, but if you try external hard drives you will run into difficulty because there is insufficient power from a single USB port to run multiple devices that need more power. t

i have the power plugged in with 7 drives. I think the reason my drives didnt work is because there's not enough power on the bus for drives. I know you can run one drive without a problem, but don't know about 2. I would assume you want power just so you don't loose the drive in the middle of writing as happened to me before without this hub.

It should. Hub is a 3.0 and also handles 2.0. Mine is a 1 tb wd. It works great.

No, this is not a network drive. You can use one interface with one computer at a time, thank you

Yes, you can. However, I suggest you go for a dynamo hub. Less troublesome, albeit a bit more expensive.

Yes. I have connected multiple external hard drives to this hub. It is a powered hub and will power drives that are not externally powered themselves (Drives which have only a USB connector and no DC adapter input).

I think you can have as many of these as you want. Just need to have the USB ports or a bunch of usb hubs.

I have 2, 3 and 4TB drives connected to a NAS through this hub. Works just fine.

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.

You sure can. Connect a cable from your wall connection to the hub then, connect each of your computers to the hub. It will work just fine.
