Does it support a USB Hub with multiple HDD's connected?

I can't say for sure since I returned mine. However I would find it doubtful. Frankly if you are looking to make a "media center" with multiple drives connected I think you will be much happier with a small inexpensive PC connected to your TV than you would with this device. The Homesync is not at all ready for prime time imo. Very clunky and severely limited at this time, compared to what a real media center pc can do (say running XBMC).

You sure can. Connect a cable from your wall connection to the hub then, connect each of your computers to the hub. It will work just fine.

I've been trying this with no success. A single drive through a 7-port usb hub worked fine. However, upon connecting three drives, one TB drive became corrupted and had to be reformatted! The other two TB drives were connected and able to be shared. Upon both hookups my wired connection continued to lose and regain internet; followed by not being able to access the router admin from firefox. At this point I'm ready to just connect a single tb drive and give up on multiple drives. If I have any later success I'll post again. Good luck.

sorry, I haven`t tested that. I will have a USB3 portable hd soon. I'll check it out.

I have two external drives, and there doesn't seem to be a problem thus far. I've only had this hub for one month, however.

I'm assuming that it is capable of accommodating three external USB 3.0 hard drives simultaneously. I haven't tried it is myself; so I can't say for sure. I've only plugged in a USB 3.0 flash drive and a USB 2.0 flash drive simultaneously and it has worked flawlessly. So I would buy it and try it.

No, this is impossible with a USB Hub. The functionality you want can be achieved with a KVM Switch (just search on Amazon), or if you want to try it with Software, try checking out http://synergy-project.org/

I don't think this hub is built to deliver that kind of power. All my external USB hard drives are separately plugged into the A/C. At minimum, your drive would probably have to be plugged into multiple USB ports.

This hub isn't for doing that. It's for adding USB slots when your computer's USB slots are filled. I have USB lines from two external drives, a printer, a mouse, and a cooling pad hooked up to my hub. You'll still need to plug your external drives power adaptors into a suge surpressor.

Sorry, I did not try to connect a USB hub. This did not work in my MB so I had to buy another attachment.

There is only one USB port offered but the manual indicates that with a powered external USB hub you can attach up to 7 USB storage devices.

This FAQ on TP-Link's website seems to back up Wayne's answer: http://www.tp-link.us/faq-603.htmlIt does say that you could potentially hook up eight 2TB drives to a USB hub for a total of 16TB of storage.

Yes, the USB hub with multiple ports replaces the one USB port on your laptop. This allows you to gain more USB ports for more connectivity of devices and peripherals.

I currently have a 1tb usb drive connected and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't support 2tb.

It should. Hub is a 3.0 and also handles 2.0. Mine is a 1 tb wd. It works great.

No. it does not allow access to HD through a hub. but a usb hub can power this device.

You'll need a USB 3.0 hub to connect more than one more device. There is no daisy chaining hub built into the LaCie.
