Will this work in conjunction with the expansion port of the Western Digita / WD My Cloud NAS? Many hubs don't work well with the My Cloud. Thanks.

The Plugable is a very good USB hub, and it has worked impeccably in many connection configurations. However, in your specific case, I would suggest to contact WD.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Good question, Alan - thanks for asking! As you mentioned, the My Cloud (and similar NAS devices from other manufacturers - this is not strictly a WD issue) are a bit picky when it comes to using USB 3.0 hubs. Generally USB 2.0 hubs work more reliably in this type of configuration, so we generally suggest going with that option. If the speed of USB 3.0 is a necessity, directly attaching a drive to the NAS will probably be the most reliable solution. If the speed of 3.0 is needed along with having additional ports, it's probably a good idea to contact WD to see if they have a tested/approved list of USB 3.0 hubs that have been tested with this NAS. If you have any other questions or concerns by all means feel free to send us an email at support@plugable.com - thanks!

I am only using the USB3 function of the card. I planned to use the SATA III port for possible future expansion. The set up I use is one USB3 port going to a Seagate 2 TB expansion hard drive (for backup and system images) and the other port to a USB3 hub. I chose this card because of the dual functionality and price.

I have HP Procurve switches and they work (HP 1800 series, an 8 port and 24 port) both work fine. I'm not sure what models Synology state as working. I would assume that the vast majority of switches supporting Link Aggregation would work these days, however, I've only had direct experience with the HP 1800's, which work very well. (Corrected Switch Model series)

I have a 2.0 hub attached to one port on this unit and it works fine. Not a problem.

I have 4 x 6TB drives, 4 x 5TB drives driven by this card. There is no issue. I have no clue what post from t4d is about. Don't believe such non-sense. Enterprise networking is my bread and butter.

I have a newer Airport Extreme Time Capsule and it works fine with that too. I am networking the WD Book through my Time Capsule so I can share the drive via WiFi for backing up my and my wife's iMacs using Time Machine. It works great. Took me a couple of minutes to find and go through the mounting procedure but after that it is working just as it should. Here's a link to the instructions on Apple's site: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204664

Can anyone confirm this will work with a Zip drive? I recently found my old iomega zip drive with a 25 pin connector and would like to offload all the old photos and documents I have stored on Zip disks. My computer doesn't have a port so I am hoping this adaptor will do the trick.

I used it with a Seagate FreeAgent device and it worked. I have not had a need to use it on a Western Digital, sorry.

Hi Nat.... I have a 3TB 2-bay NAS, and the AIOS sees it fine under the Network\'NASName' heading. All I had to do was mount the directories I wanted to share.

I don't have a 9361 but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. The limitations are more about what the 9361 supports than the expander. It's more or less just a port multiplier. You could, for instance, run 1 cable from the 9361 to the Expander and run all 16 drives off that (and have a port open on the card + a port open on the Expander for more).I'm running 2 cables from my 9240 to the Expander; it supports 15 drives & 2 RAID arrays. Performance could be better but I blame the low-end 9240 (no cache) for that.

I didn't have luck with it at all. Then I got a Unitek 3+1 port USB3.0 Hub, also off Amazon...super cheap powered hub and works great, no problems

Do not have that configuration so cannot answer. I, however have had no problems with my Anker hub on my MacBook Air and I have a Western Digital 1 T disk as my backup device. No problems after 4 months.
