I think I'm in the market for a powered USB 3 hub. I have four external drives, two of which are powered themselves, two are not.
I find that when the PC reboots, which is about once a week for various reasons, I have to swap the drives about in their sockets until Windows sees all of them. All four will eventually work, but it's a dance every time.
I'm guessing this is a power issue (?) for my sadly ageing PC, and perhaps a powered USB hub might resolve it. Amazon is awash with such things from about £20 to over £100, and other than "more money must mean a better product", who knows?
Anyone have one they can recommend, or indeed have thoughts about my "missing" drives?
