Unpowered OTG USB Hub that works with ext hdd

Unread post by kubbie »

My Mister USB hub just died due to the USB bridge connector got yanked out from the board. I'm looking for an alternative OTG USB hub that would power a 2.5inch hdd so I can run CD games from the external hdd. Does anyone know or recommend an OTG USB hub that can handle the hdd?

I wouldn't use an unpowered one except if the USB drive is powered separately. I guess any USB 2.0 hub would work. I personally use a decade old non OTG powered HUB with an OTG cable without any problem.
