[QUOTE="Jimmysb, post: 1936291, member: 416417"] A quick update: After reviewing this thread [URL="https://www.mac-forums.com/threads/hubs-hubs-and-more-hubs.377550/post-1935707"]Hubs, Hubs and More Hubs[/URL], I bought this item [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09PRG6XB6/[/URL], the UK equivalent, after which I rearranged my connections on my Mini, including where I plug my Seagate drive in. With the new hub, instead of using the apple [URL="https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MJ1L2ZM/A/usb-c-vga-multiport-adapter"]USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter[/URL], I plugged the drive straight into the Mina USB3 A socket, and I no longer get the ejection message. However, I have put an SSD drive in the hub, and get the ejection (error) message for that drive, I have tried with both "allow hard drive to sleep" and with that switched off. I assume direct connection to the Mini allows it to manage the drive correctly, and via an adaptor this does not occur. [/QUOTE]
