Help - SSD keeps disconnecting when on Anker 7-in-1 power hub

My SSD (samsung T5 2tb) works fine on my laptop (dell xps 6300), but not when connected via the Anker hub (PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub). The SSD keeps disconnecting and instantly reconnecting. It does this every 20 seconds or so.

It works fine when directly connected on the laptop, so it must be the Anker hub that is creating the issue. The hub is powered at 65W via usb PD and powers the laptop at 40W via its fixed usb-c cord, so the hub should be having enough power.

Has someone dealt with this issue before and how did you resolve it please? I cannot let the SSD on the hub under the circumstances. It is unusable and I risk corrupting the files in it.

Thank you
