Did the hub have mains power?

How do you keep it properly powered? When I tried something similar, some drives would randomly vanish because the peak power demand exceeded the supply of the hub.

Yup, 60W.
More than enough to power one or two drives but when 3+ were writing I’d have a random disconnect.
Tried different hubs, of increasing power. Same thing.

The USB hub is powered, and the Pi needed a driver swap for better stability. So far works great.
