Hello
I have a AS4004T which has one USB3 port on the back and one on the front. But I have three external drives I would like to keep permanently connected. Can connect a USB3 hub into the back port and then hang three external drives from it? I don't care about the transfer speed penalty, I just want to be able to occasionally search the contents of these older archives.
Thanks in advance for help.

Re: Help with USB hub
Hi,
for your information it's a Atolla powered usb hub (4 ports + 1 charging) ... (not bought specifically for the NAS).
BUT remember ... it's not the same hardware (mother board and usb chip) and not the same kernel.
so ... ask Asustor support and have a look to compatibility hardware web page ... even I think limited to external USB box ... I don't verify.

I don't have your model (family arm64) only an arm model ... on this model AS1002T I am able to use a multi-ports USB 3 Hub without problem.PudgyPig wrote:Hello
