Can a bad USB hub cause drives to be ejected improperly if they're not plugged into the hub?
I have a M1 Mac Studio. I have three hard drives plugged into a powered hub that connects to one of the USB A ports on the Studio. I also have two SSDs in a Thunderbolt 3 dock set up as RAID 0 connected to one of the Thunderbolt ports
Two of the hard drives kept getting ejected - sometimes during a backup session. They're desktop drives with their own power supplies.
During troubleshooting, I moved things around, changed cables and plugged the hub into the other USB A port.
A few hours later, the SSDs improperly ejected on their own. This never happened before.
Can a faulty device (I'm guessing the hub) cause problems on the other ports? Does it matter which port you plug a USB hub into?
