Hi Karen, if you have a USB that is split, (I have one with 3) and use it just fine...really depends on the computer power settings also, mine is on High Power. When the electricity goes out, the battery is in use, I set it to Low Power for longer use.When plugged in, the power setting will auto-lower the battery draw and use electric line.

I have USB3 hub plugged into mine, and it works great. Then again, the USB ports on my MBP work also.

yes. It's a fairly high powered hub. Works best if plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

I use a mixture of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. Everything I have connected to this hub worked as expected.

USB 2.0 port will remain a USB 2.0 port because of the bus speed. It won't make it 3.0 even if you plug in this hub. Hope this helps.

You need to plug both USB ends. This way, your external HDD will draw more power than from a single USB 2.0 port.

Its not a hub, that is it does not allow you to connect multiple USB devices to a single USB port. Its only a charging station, allowing you to connect power to 4 devices that charge via a USB port (2x1amp, 2x2amp devices)

Yes, that is the idea, and like the other answers say, you can probably get away with only using one. However, if you aren't using a USB hub, you should just play it safe and use both; I've had a hard drive with the same sort of setup that usually worked with just one cable, but it was right on the edge, and I had it cut out a couple times. If you are using a hub, it doesn't matter if you use both or not, they're generally capable of providing all available current up to 2.1 Amps through any single port.

Don't quite know what you are asking. We have a 7-port usb hub and though we use it for only 3 devices + 1 once in awhile, it works like a charm. Since there are 7 slots, it will take 7 devices.

Yes. 2 USB at the same time and in addition another AC plug. All will power simultaneously.

is the usb port running off a hub or directly to the computer? needs to connect directly to the computer

It a "normal" USB connector. No problem if you have 2 adjacent USB ports to plug 2 "normal" connectors

Yes, I'm using it with one now. But it will need two USB ports (unless you buy the power supply), and a hub won't work. You need a card or the original ports.

The 2 usb is there to simply give more power. Mine ran perfectly fine with 1 usb. But if it doesnt just plug 2 usb in for more power

The answer is yes; 4 different peripherals can be connected to be powered from 1 usb hub of a pc. With multi connections case; in order not to lose any data transfer speeds of the connected devices, usb hubs of the pc should either be usb2.0 high-speed type or -much better- usb3.0.
