No, but I use a usb hub to connect multiple drives, works fine
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not certain that you can link it as I think you are contemplating in your question. However, you can use a hub and connect it to your computer with the hub. The computer will recognize both drives and you can move files back and forth between them. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If the other external drive has usb 3.0 hub build in then yes you can connect the drive to it, it will show up as external disk
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For those wanting to make a bigger amount of data readiness by linking them up, in Windows 10 this is available by using the setup/manage of the connected drives. Generally but even largely more 3 minimum can be managed as a single drive. See this link: Create a New Pool and Storage Space in Windows 10 https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/83691-create-new-pool-storage-space-windows-10-a.html Drive failure can help from losing large amounts of dat until another drive can be added. See the first section of the link for possibly up to 7 drives and as few as 3. Then nyou can follow the instructions below that section. Personally I use a bonifide 3.0 USB port from a computer and a USB powered Hub from Rosewill to connect up to 4 and then doing them same again with another USB 3.0 port on the computer to get 8 ports. That would satisfy a large storage layout which requires at least three drives to protect you from a single drive failure and at least seven drives to protect you from two drive failures. I cannot tell you the resulting size but it is elastic. (https://www.rosewill.com/?s=usb+3+hub)
