HP 17 Envy laptop Windows 10 x64 1607 fully updated.
I only have 4 USB ports… so…
I have tried connecting a 4 bay drive array, NexStar HX4, to this system using an Anker 10-port USB 3 hub. Non-RAID.
Well… Some top level folders were visible but NOTHING below that level. AKA folders were “empty”.
But not really! Reconnecting the HX4 to a native USB 3 port on the Envy… Presto! Everything is there and fine.
Is there any fundamental reason why this configuration should not work?
On another system (only 2 USB 3 ports)I have 4 portable USB drives connected to the same model Anker 10-port hub which is chained to an Anker 13-port hub and everything works fine.
Thanks,
