Portable drive dock?

Hi Folks,

 

Hoping that someone can give me some advice for the following.  I have a couple of Seagate 4TB Backup Plus portable USB drives.  They are great and work perfectly but... even on a powered USB hub they require more power than is available.  Can anyone recommend some form of portable drive docking station that allows multiple drives to be connected (and powered) or a USB hub that provides the extra oomph required.

 

Many thanks

What kind of powered hub are you talking about? Is it decent quality?
