re: 2 USB HDs ? Thursday, June 28, 2007 at 7:00 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DNA (551 messages posted) Connecting more than one USB-powered external hard drive (such as a 2.5" 'notebook' drive) to an unpowered USB hub isn't going to work, regardless of the computer's operating system! Two weeks ago, I had three external hard drives and one pocket flash drive connected to my Win2K server at once, with no problem! Note that my external hard drives are all 3.5" 'desktop' AC-outlet powered (each individually plugged into a surge-protector strip), and all were connected to a system-powered USB 2.0 4-port front bay hub (that fits a 3.5" 'floppy' drive bay). ------------------------------------------------------------- Athlon 1.1 - 768 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Home Athlon 3000+ 64 - 1024 MB RAM = 98SE (@768 MB RAM) & XP Pro IBM ThinkPad PIII 900 - 384 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Pro SP2 Windows 2000 Server in the basement Written in response to: 2 USB HDs ?
