How can I implement additional power for a USB hub?

Question

Electronics

My USB hub has a socket for additional power. Sometimes I connect a hard drive to it, but I think that it does not have enough power, because. there is a lot more connected to the hub.
What can you do with this hub? Tell me, is there a power adapter for the hub?

Answer 1

usually a source of 5 volts and a current of 1A. But just in case, I would look for a description of the entire action for your specific model on the Internet. It may be that this external power supply is not connected anywhere, but is made for compatibility with a more expensive model.
