    I have two powered USB 2.0 hard drives that I plan to plug into a powered USB 3.0 hub. I know I won't get the USB 3.0 speed, but should the I also connect each drive's power connection?

    USBs still on after shutting down the computer

    The external hard drive is USB connected to the computer. My external HD has no option for external powering.
