USB-C powered hub. Or injecting power?

I've got a 4 port USB-C Hub with 3 drives plugged in to it and 3 seems to be its limit. I plugged a 4th in and it doesn't mount the drive. If I plug it into a different USB-C socket it seems to work fine.

I guess that the hub can't cope with powering 4 things?

Is there a 4 Port powered hub I could use, I'm not having much luck searching for one?

Cheers 🙂

Actually maybe I've found one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Splitter-Connector-MacBook-Included-Gray/dp/B0CR6953Z2/ref=sr_1_28

Yep that will do the job. Anker are a good brand so it has a much lower chance of catching fire than some no name eBay special.

Thanks.

I was going to order it but I’m sure it was £40 when I first looked then went up to £50?
