Interesting idea. Maybe the Transcend XS-2000 4TB needs more power than the Sandisk Extreme Pro 2TB. Not sure whether I have one at hand with USB-C here, cause my regular USB hub only has USB-A connectors. Need to look for one with enough USB-A and USB-C connectors as I use an USB hub as replacement for a docking station. But I do have at least optionally powered hub with USB-C one at another place. It does not have many ports. But for the task ahead one USB-C port is sufficient. I will try this as well. Thanks. Best, -- Martin
