Hello to all.

I'm planning to connect two Seagate desktop hard drives (both USB 3.0) to a power adapter powered USB 3.0 hub. The two HD's have its own power supply, and the hub will be connected to one USB 3.0 port.

So, I was wondering If there will be bandwidth problems?, I say this because I'm trying to use two hard drives in a hub, and the above will be connected to ONLY one port. I know that I can connect many things to a hub at the same time, like a mouse a keyboard, and so on, but I doubt about the hard drives.

Many thanks for your time.

Since the drives have their own power, no problem.

There are several multi drive USB bays/hub things.

I have a 4 bay. Works just fine.
