Hi, I would like to know if 2 x SEAGATE 8TB Backup Plus External HDD Drives will run off of ONE USB 3.0 Port power wise please ?
As When I connect my 2 HDD drives, to the 7 PORT USB 3.0 HUB, and the USB 3.0 HUB is Connected to 1 x Blue USB 3.0 Port on the laptop, My Drives get corruption errors non stop.
I am on Windows 10 Pro x64 and using this Laptop:
GIGABYTE Q2556N
BTW: Connecting 1 x SEAGATE 8TB External Backup Plus to the 7 PORT USB 3.0 HUB which is connected to the 1 x USB 3.0 BLUE PORT on the Laptop seems to work fine ( I hope ? ) No errors so far
Lastly on the very same 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub I have a Xonar U1 Audio Station connected as well, and I have NO External PSU / Plug / Adapter connected to Power the 7 Port USB Hub, it is running solely off the power of the Laptops BLUE USB 3.0 Port.
The SEAGATE 8TB Backup Plus External HDD has its very own 12v - 3.0 AMP PSU / Plug / External Adapter which is plugged in always to power the SEAGATE 8TB Backup Plus External HDD.
