built my new PC last week,  Gigabyte B550 MB with AMD 5600X CPU runs a treat

 

I have used for years full size AZZA PC Cases, this time went for a Matx , everything fits inside fine 1x M2 500mb SSD, my old SSD + my 4TB HDD from old PC + DVD + gpu

 

I have 4 x WD My Passport USB drives 2 x 1 TB + 2 x 2 TB....  My idea was to have these 4 drives on a USB Extension Hub,  so have bought the wrong one ? or is it possible ?  not one will work ?

 

Have at this moment got web cam, led desk light phone charger plugged into this Hub  all work perfect  + have the 4 x WD HDDs plugged ito the PC direct  again all works fine.  2 at back of PC + 2 on front..  But a pain as must unplug a HDD every time I need to use a USB stick

 

What USB Hub should I have bought that will allow the HDDs to work ?

This is theone I bought

So a lot more expensive and will nor work for USB  HDDs

 

Confusing if you have no idea, as they appear to range from under 100 baht to over 4,000 baht ..

Try to use the USB hub you bought with only 1 of the WD Passport drives plugged into it.  You may be able to also use a USB stick as well on that hub.  Let us know if that works.

Any powered hub should work.

Ugreen 10915 would work.

Put in one, leave it in, and reboot. Just a guess. You got the hub powered?
