Two External USB Drives

[deepakvrao]

Just repeated this with Samsung T3 drives with similar result. It currently reports that it is going to take 4 hours to transfer 3.6 Gb of data from one drive to the other, both connected to the Hootoo with wall power.

This is consistent with my earlier experience and with comments on this Amazon page.

Doing anything other than transferring between two Samsung SSD seems to be OK. I can successfully back up my iPhone to a Samsung T3, with both connected to the Hootoo. Data transfer to and from drives connected to the Hootoo and the internal is fine, just not fine between Samsung SSD drives connected to the Hootoo.

Hi Mike,

I know this was an old post, so you must have tested with the older HooToo? The 60w one. I wonder if the new one which has 100w thru power provides more power to the USB ports. Any idea?

Sorry only just seen your reply.

I only ever used the Hootoo connected to the Apple 29W (12" MB) charger and passing power through to the MB and the USB ports. I have not considered or tried connecting the Hootoo to a 60W (13"MBP) or 87W (15"MBP) charger if that is what you are asking? Might make a difference.
