Canvio Desk and passive USB hubs?

I have Toshiba Canvio Office 5 TB HDD (HDWC250EK3J1).

Manual says not to use passive USB Hubs, but given that this hard drive draws its energy from the wall socket, can I still use passive USB - Hub?

Is it because it slows down HD or it causes real problems?

There are situations where I would use passive USB - hub for a short period of time.

So it causes losses of data or really bad things or what?

  • Time machine on a usb hub

    Last summer, my iMac (running El Capitan) 2010 started hooking serious problems where the only solution would be to perform a reboot of the material.  After much experimentation and running on an external drive, I discovered that Time Machine was the culprit.  That is, when TM was off, the Mac has worked well, but if I turned back on, after 12-24 hours of TM, the Mac, would essentially become unusable and require a restart of hardware.  While I would certainly prefer to have current backups made via TM, there is nothing on this machine that had not been saved on other storage devices, so I was happy to let it go for several months.  Thinking maybe TM two disks, I had been using had been corrupted, I have them off and on again 5 TB (internal drive is 1 TB).  Once again, the same results.  Thinking maybe the USB hub was at fault, I replaced the hub last night.  This morning, everything seemed fine, but four hours later, after being in mode 'sleep' for most of the time, it was frozen again.  I have attached from the player to the USB port on the iMac Freedmen and will wait to see what happens.

    Now I read that Apple has recommendations for the use of TM and nowhere in there is a mention, a USB hub, for or against.  Anyone has any information (even if it's just anecdotal) regarding the use of the Time Machine disks via a USB hub?  For the record, the drive is a Seagate 5 to, USB 3.0, and I connected via USB 2 and 3 USB hubs with the same results (suspended).

    Anyone who can shed light on this aura of gratitude.  It has been confusing me for some time - especially since it seems that nothing of what I found to indicate that you can not or do not use a Time Machine drive via a USB hub.

    These hubs are externally powered? And what else is connected to them?

  • Airport Extreme and USB hub

    Hi all!!

    Witch of USB hubs with printer and hard drive connected can work with last gen extreme airport?

    Witch is good, the best of the witch? Powered? No powder?

    You can use any hub powered; USB port of the AirPort Extreme provides only a limited amount of energy itself, and is not enough to support many readers.

  • Required USB Hub recommendation

    I just got a new computer desk and its configuration makes me need a USB 4-port hub, I think. All the products HP (pavilion slimline, photosmart 8250 & 4480 deskjet printers). My printer photo, the keyboard and the mouse are unable to reach USB ports on my slimline. I guess I need a hub 4 ports. Do hub with power adapter or powered computers usb port? hub 2.0 or 3.0? I would like to spend $25 and never have a problem. Please give me some advice.

  • Drive external hard connected via USB hub: icons not showing on desktop

    Hi... on an iMac 2015, using a USB hub 3.0 occasionally to connect an external hard drive (which stores these things as art assets)... but the external hard drive icon does not appear on the desktop... it IS in the sidebar of Finder, though...

    But on the icon the Finder sidebar, the small icon "eject" gray is missing, and the only way to eject is to right click and select "eject" or use the eject button in the Finder toolbar... it's okay...

    But is there a way to display the icon on the desktop, so I can always remember to eject the disks attached?

    (the desktop icon shows normally when connected directly via the USB ports at the rear)

    Thank you.

    Finder-> Preferences-> general, check the appropriate boxes under "show these items on the desktop".

    [My personal choice is them having all checked]

  • suddenly stops when the external usb hub is attached

    My imac 27 inches 5 k 2015 suddenly stops when an external USB hub is attached supposedly designed specifically for the mac. (Cutting) The mac does not start I have to unplug it and reconnect to restart. I tried different hubs of this manufacturer and all do the same thing. Remove the hub, the computer is fine. Any ideas?

    Well, try an another factory USB hub, I had good success with USB hubs powered from Belkin.

    Question... are the hubs help powered or are bus powered USB? They are bus powered USB is your problem, the USB ports on iMac didn't supply enough power to power bus-powered USB hubs.

  • drive external hard connected via usb hub powered Time Capsule guard fall...

    Hello.

    Try using a player external 3.5 "connected via USB hub powered to my Time Capsule to serve as a backup Time Machine secondary.

    When I connect the external hard drive, it turns out, and everything seems good (Yes it is correctly formatted). I see the external hard drive in my time machine preferences panel and also the desktop browser window, etc..

    After selecting the drive hard as the second backup TM, I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies. Audit of airport utility, the drive no longer appears in the profile of Time Capsule. I can't turn back the drive without unplugging / plugging the USB cord. I went to HD (WD green 4to) and HGST 4to - deleted both.

    What is the speaker (the box is powered)? Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls? Something else?

    Just seems like something somewhere that expire, causing it to drop the connection...

    Thanks for your useful suggestions to fix this!

    Is your TC the Gen5, model AC?

    I must say that your experience is not uncommon. I tested it myself recently and was disappointed in how the poor reliability has been... Although not as bad as yours... in fact cutting in a few minutes to start a backup is ridiculous.

    What is the speaker (the box is powered)?

    Quality of the envelope varies a lot... What is it??

    If this is the typical brand X... Plug it into your Mac. is it reliable?

    Go to your control panel and dig up the actual USB chip used... I don't know if we can help on type a lot. But it helps us determine the fleas are a problem.

    I found the hard drive in the finder to mount helped... not the sparsebundle that must be mounted by Time Machine... but the disk must be mounted in the finder so that you can copy files back to him.

    I start TM. After a few minutes the backup fruitbodies.

    Check in the finder, it has created the sparsebundle and works.

    Can you have a USB hub between the external hard drive and time capsuls?

    It's our usual recommendation... but he won't always help... especially if the USB hub is another brand X...

    Note that all societies are changing USB tokens at the drop of a hat... some seller of a rival company arrives and offers them 1 c off the coast of 1 million chips it is common to spend even in the middle of a race. Even the tenors have no satisfactory fixed hardware...

    The computer has loads of memory... and may contain drivers for hundreds of different USB tokens... but the TC is a very limited amount of space and with questions if the driver is not fair.

    I started a thread for a database just now... has not progressed much.

  • Equium A60: USB Hub problems

    I have an Equium A60 and that you just bought a USB 2.0 with 4 ports hub, but it is not recognized when plugged into one of the usb ports
    It causes also the PC hang on shutdown and startup
    Hass someone at - it had similar problems

    Hello

    As far as I know for some USB hubs, it is necessary to install a software that can help to use correctly. Some of them are plug and play devices and there is no need to install any additional software.

    I use Satellite 1900 and also have USB hub and it works correctly. In my case, it was necessary to install the driver before the hub is connected. A demon of the mine has Belkin hub and in his case, the driver has been installed after that the laptop has recognized a new hardware component.

    All this is based on the producer of hub. I hope you have some instructions how to connect the hub to the laptop on the right feel.

  • External USB hub limit for Satellite Pro C650

    Is there a limit to how much you can connect via the Satellite Pro C650 of external usb ports?

    Provides four ports hub I, ports seem to work individually and all devices operate normally when plugged directly into the top of the Tower, but when all devices are plugged into the hub and combined high tower, there are future errors.

    Thank you
    Karyn

    Well, I think that this should not be a problem if the unique USB hubs provide clean power.
    The fact is that the only USB port provides common 500mA and if several devices would share the power of a USB port then it might be possible that the 500mA available would not be sufficient for all USB devices.

    Hello

    For the use of the USB ports on your machine that you n t need any special drivers and you won't find anything on the Toshiba download page. After the installation of Windows XP Home edition, the ports are recognized correctly.

    I really put t know which driver you are trying to configure but usually the driver must be installed to the device, and not for existing USB ports. As far as I know, this unit has USB 2.0 and there should not be any problem.

    Hello

    As far as I know the unit supports USB 1.1
    So I guess if you are using a USB hub external, USB ports work with USB 1.1 properties.
