I use a WD portable drive and it works well with this USB hub. (I did not try with more than one external drives.)

I think you would be better served with a power adapter hub... search "usb hub with power adapter" on Amazon. I wouldn't put a HD on this Sabrent USB 4port Hub 2.0, it seems to lose connections with HDs too easily.

i do not recommend buying a USB powered Hub for external drives. Buy the one with external power. The USB powered one will turn off your HD sometimes and it is annoying esp if you are downloading files.

Hello Justin. The drive is bigger than others but not so much. I can plug it with other devices without any problem.Regards.

It solely depends what you mean by External HDD. Is it a SATA or PATA drive? Then Yes. If it is one of those USB drives with Type 'B' power port then you cannot use this. (I believe!)

Just plug it in - I backed up my entire hard drive. If you have issues - contact their 800 tech desk.

Sorry...don't know. I only have a Synology NAS, so no experience on the external USB HDs

You are supposed to be able to do that, but I have had many problems with this unit. Even just one hard drive plugged into this didn't work properly. It would eject the external hard drive all the time. It work fine in the beginning, then suddenly stopped working.

Corinne, I use this portable hard for my laptop, uses a USB cable and the program Seagate provides works fine and is user friendly. I hope I helped>

I don't know. This is beyond my expertise. I am using from an pad to my computer or my monitor. Haven't tried a hard drive. Seems as though you need an external power supply for the HD. It then might work.

will I loose all my data that is already on the 4GB, or is this an additional drive? I tried to use the Seagate 1TB external Computer drive, but it wouldn't work.

I don't know the answer to that, as I've never tried it. It might be a proprietary adapter, and only work with the Seagate product.

I contacted my external hard drive mfg. (Seagate) via web & then called. They researched the item, gave me the model # for the item and recommended Amazon for best price!Received it quickly and am very happy!

I don't have that hard drive but my HD doesn't work with the hub so I suspect yours probably will not work either. The HD is one of the few things that doesn't work.

It did not work with my 4TB external hard drive. Wondering if it worked for you ?

Hi Frank, Well I don't know only used it with the 3 TB version of seagate , WD and the 4 TB of Hitachi, owned by Western Digital.Do not have a seagate 4 TB near by. My guess would be yes with a small risk of being wrong. cheers Marc
