I have a USB 2 hub which does not seem to want to work with my external USB 2 hard disk. my external hard disk case is powered, and so is the hub. :shocked2:
basically, the hard disk would work for a while, and then Explorer or whatever program is accessing the files would hang. The first time, it will maybe spend five minutes and recover, after that it will be gone. Sometimes, the drive would be corrupted, and sometimes it wouldn't. :eek2:
the hard disk works perfectly fine when plug directly into my laptop (which is a Sony - wondering whether this is their fault as with many of my other compatibility problems). It also works when plugged into a nonpowered USB one hub which I have.
I got a replacement for my USB two hub, but the new one would recognise a hard disk but not display any of the drive letters! :confused4 so I am using the old one for now. Although more as a storage place for my cable.
