Please notify me as well :)
There's actually been a few under that is what I'm hinting at… again its been contested by a lot of the crew here we should wait for powered ones.
i dont think those without external power will work well
USB 3.0 has around 900mAh output, good enough to support 4 ports :)
you can probably power 4 or even more usb 3.0 memory stick but the most you'll prob get for external hard drives is 1.5 or 2. thats what my previous comment was regarding
Keyboard or mouse, usb stick and other "lite devices" :)
They don't, but USB memory sticks do, and if your device only has 1 USB port then you would want your hub to be usb3.
Will this support 3 x 2TB Portable HDD?
Good question
Depends on the actual HDD model, if the HDD needs external power source or not.
I got a similar one from Tmart or Meritline (I forgot. Bought too many things from them two and the waiting time is always long) a few weeks ago. It has the option to get external power but the power cord was not included in the package.
I have been using it just to charge my devices via my computer (while it is not on, over night). I just discovered last night that somehow the damn thing would not read my USB sticks!
this is a good quality one, and definitely reads all USB sticks.
"definitely reads all USB sticks."
Whoopdeedoo! As bbyboy stated, 2 portable hard drives MAX!
To be fair, he's replying to a post in regards to a hub that didn't read memory sticks. Nothing in regards to powering HDDs.
I have 2 of these. One for my Surface Pro and the other for a Macbook Pro. Perfect for this usage scenario as I would rarely ever need more than 2 HDD connected, but would connect a mouse/USB stick as well.
BTW I bought my 2 on eBay for about $30 delivered after the 15% site discount.
Let me know If you hit $10 inc free shipping mate
