I have an Airport Extreme that I already have one hard drive connected to for Time Machine backups, but I have additional hard drives I'd like to connect for general use over the network.

These are all desktop hard drives that are powered with external power supplies. Is a powered USB hub required in this case, or will a simple unpowered hub work fine since the drives themselves are already powered?

I'm getting mixed answers on this online so I just wanted to confirm.

Thanks.
