Can I use the USB hub to connect more than one hard drive to this device?

I really don't know. I use only one external HD plugged on this device to make backups.

There is only one USB port offered but the manual indicates that with a powered external USB hub you can attach up to 7 USB storage devices.

Theoretically, you can since the dock mode presents the two HDDs in JBOD layout from my understanding but I've only used it to clone HDDs. Please confirm with StarTech instead, I'm just one of the many customers.

You need to plug both USB ends. This way, your external HDD will draw more power than from a single USB 2.0 port.

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can just attach both drives and use windows to copy the files.

Yes, but keep this in mind : The only external hard drives I ever got to work with this device are Buffalo- branded ones. I tried WD, Ragate, and Maxtor USB 3.0 and 2.0 drives with no luck at all. However, I had Buffalo - branded drives working on two ports at once.

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.

I do not know--this was so unreliable I have stopped using it. It did not matter what drives I used--none would stay connected. Also, realize you can only use one at a time.

I haven't tried it yet, but when I called the company they said that it would, but you have to use two drives with the same capacity.

You need the 2 ports to power the HDD. Depends on your hard drive model only one port may not be enough.

I am looking for dual HHD docking station to make home server with RPi. Can this product combine two separate HDDs into one?

I don't know for certain but I don't believe it is designed to be used in a shared hub environment. You can check Seagate's site, but it might be too specific a task. I personally haven't heard of mixed Macs and PCs on a USB3 hub. You can back them up separately without having individual partitions but it would still be one at a time.

Probably. I have six external hard drives, a dvd writer/player, an audio system, and I don't know how much more hooked up to it. I've never noticed a single problem with it, unlike every other USB Hub I've had, and there have many since I have so many external devices to hook up.

There are more port options HDs than there are branded HDs. You would first need to specify which port option you are seeking to connect to.

There are two ports. One is a USB 2.0 and the other is a combo eSATA/USB 2.0. I satisfy the need for more with a hub.

For me I found external hard disks worked, but I would get short term disconnects. I replaced my hub with a Anker hub and haven't looked back:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSLMTQ8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't know what wireless hard drive you are using but this is a 3A power, it's like 6 standard computers usb, if something works on your computer, it will work on this hub.
