My TV has 2 dedicated USB drives, named (obviously) DRIVE 1 and DRIVE 2. Never considered a USB hub before now! Just wonder how my TV will recognize between the stuff plugged in?
I have two 2TB external drives I want to plug in... one for movies, the other for TV shows, Both are almost full and I'm only about 2/3 of the way done converting my TV show library to digital. And I haven't even started transferring my Blu-rays to digital format. 4TB drives - powered from the USB plug itself will NOT work. They just go 'clunk-clunk-clunk' but will not read and are inaccessible. The USB-powered 2TB drives work & read fine... so I just have to double the plugs/hook ups.
I have 4 HDMI ports, 2 in use (one for my Blu-ray player, the other to my soundbar) that could be used IF decent connectors exist. Most I've seen are for charging batteries ONLY. I will give one of those USB hubs a try. They aren't too expensive. We'll see what happens.
Thanks!
