    yes me,

    but i have no experiences about attached mechanical hd to a powered usb.

    anyway it should work if the problem lies on insufficient voltage when directly connected to the tablet

    What I've used and what I've got:
    TECLAST X98 AIR 3G, TECLAST X98 AIR II, TECLAST X98 PRO,CHUWI HI8, CHUWI HI12, CUBE I9

    This one has a microusb input on the opposite side of cable. You can see it on the 3d pic in description. Do you have the same hub?

    Yes, I have that input…So that’s why it has relay protection!

    Did you try to plug in HDD to hub and also put a power for example from PC?

    Did it work?
