Best powered USB hub for my 6 or 7 USB 3.0 HDD media library drives with either an M2 Mac mini or a new M4 mini? (sh.itjust.works)

Ditch the USB and look into Unraid.

Plug those drives (any size) together into a cheap used PC and use Unraid to join them up into a monolithic array that can also use recover from drives failing with zero data loss and effortlessly scale larger by adding new drives of any size, mixing and matching as you like.

It’s the single best computing investment I’ve made in the last two decades and can scale as big or small as you like.

Yes theres a free demo version.
