My name is Mindwave and I am a DATA JUNKIE
i know, but sometimes i feel lik im taking 12 steps everytime i ask about his question.
but here goes, i build my own pcs, not a genius or an expert just a cheapskate when it comes to some things.
so my main pc is a decent enough rig w/ 32gb ram 5 internal hds and 1 internal ssd.
still want more access to more data.
primary os = linux mint 17.7
but even running them through a powered usb hub, i cant get the pc to recognize more than 5 usb hds
now ive been doing this long enough to recall that in its initial spec usb was going to give us 127 devices in 1 channel
but its just never worked that way for me.
just for grins i tried it on my windows pc, in both identical hardware setup and now different ones, using everything from XP all the way throughwin.10.nov.18
did i miss something? am i still missing something?
ive tried same series of external usb hds, different, ive tried different makers
all to no avail
whats worse is sometimes i can toss in a 2gb usb key and its immediately found and sometimes its not, and then other drives start dropping off the chain......
truly bizzare.....
any and all assistace is appreciated
thoughts ideas suggestion,m rumors....
