I have many portable USB 3.0 hard drives (4) and I want to connect all of them at once to my PC. I have only 2 USB 3.0 ports and 1 USB 3.1 Type C port. Thus, I definitely need a powered hub. Here are my findings till now:
1. Powered USB 3.1 hubs are rare and I have not seen any supporting 4 USB 3.0 ports.
2. All physical enclosures I found are for 2.5/3.5" hard disks connecting via sata ports and not for portable usb hard drives.
3. All enclosures which support 4 disks are usb 3.0 based
Thus, anyone has any idea of either:
1. A full blown enclosure meant for portable usb hard drives with usb 3/3.1 support
2. Power usb 3.1 hub with at least 4 usb 3.0 ports.
