scottwilliams Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 hi - I have a USB 3.0 hub that doesn't work great. (I notice that external drives some times don't show up/ disconnect, etc...also when I've had issues with Helix and or HX Edit, support has said it's best to run right into the imac USB ports. However, not a ton of ports and if I good find a hub that worked well with helix (and my external drives, etc), that would be awesome. Any recommendations for a hub? It's an older imac, so maybe better to stick with a 2.0 hub? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungho Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I would start by connecting directly to your Mac, without the hub, if possible. If the problem goes away, it's obviously the hub. I don't necessarily have a recommendation for a specific hub but I would most certainly use a powered USB hub (one that has a separate power supply). USB 3.0 hubs will work fine with a USB 2.0 port, you simply won't get the extra speed. I'm sure others will chime in with advice as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
