When using a BT Smart Hub 2, can you connect a USB hub to it and connect several hard disk drives? Thanks.

Try it and see. I suspect it will need to be a powered hub, I doubt the SH2 will have sufficient power to power multiple drives. It will certainly power a single drive though. You will need to enable SMB1 to use the usb port.

Thanks. I’ll be using a powered hub. I’m trying to establish whether through the powered hub I will see all HD’s connected.
