Without feeding the hub may prevent the insertion of a portable drive self-powered USB 3.0 (Western Digital to 2). With the power of the Hub's hard drive never gets in before ... This is not drama but good. So I tried another hard drive (Seagate 2to) but this time with its own power: it is automatically ejected as soon as the day before it is activated! Not good ...
In contrast using the power transfer rate of the hub is perfectly correct. I keep it for occasional use and / or possibly for a trip (this hub is really small).
Last, the cable provided in the package is ridiculously small and too rigid which does not facilitate its positioning on a work plan (for example).
