Hello,
I have bought a Vero 4K+ and the HUB USB.
When I plug one external HDD to the HUB, it works fine : Kodi can use this HDD.
When I plug a second external HDD, Kodi sees no HDD. If I try to play a movie (from the first HDD), Kodi says that the movie does not exist anymore.
The HUB is auto-alimented.
Is there a solution to plug 4 externals HDD ?
Thank you for the help.

Not sure what this means but Vero will not be able to power a hub and two HDD. If the hub is powered by the mains adapter that should work.
That was what I wanted to tell… Sorry I’m French.
The hub is powered by the adapter you send with.
No need to apologize. I think @sam_nazarko should be able to help - I believe there are two versions of the hub.
Yes. Mine is the same. But my power LED is red so maybe I have a different model.
You can power one or two drives with the supplied PSU (depending on their rating).
Otherwise you need to use a different PSU, but the hub itself will be fine
You can power a single drive in each port individually to rule out a hardware issue.
Cheers

Hello
I think that this is the “PSU” :
I understand that you tell me to buy another PSU, more powerfull.
Can you give me a link from one which can power the 4 ports ?
I am not sure about the power that it need and about the connector :
For example, is this one is correct ? https://www.amazon.fr/PChero-Bloc-dalimentation-universel-4-5/dp/B071S77653/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=Universal+AC+Adapter&qid=1623740769&s=electronics&sr=1-9
Thank you…
That adapter has the same rating (2A) as the OSMC supplied one. If I recall correctly a 2.5" HDD can take up to 1A (although typically 750mA) when spinning up so you would probably need a 4A supply to be sure.
