I keep different content on different external HDDs, each of which is connected to the PC through a switchable USB hub.
I have repeatedly found that a new hub allows me to see each ext HDD for some months. Then it becomes unreliable.
What could explain that ?
The durability of USB hubs that can be switched on and off depends on various factors like the quality of the build, materials used, and the manufacturer's standards. USB hubs that are of high quality and have robust construction and reinforced ports tend to be more durable and can resist wear and tear from frequent plugging and unplugging. However, the durability of USB hubs can vary, so it's essential to choose reputable brands and handle the hub with care to prolong its lifespan.
