Hi there currrently i use a western digital 4Tb external hard drive (EHD) for my work and current projects and only have a samsung galaxy tab a 2016 for when I am OTG. But issue I have is that I can't find a micro usb hub that will allow me to charge my tablet while I have the EHD connected if anyone can offer a suggest anything that would be great 

 

Thanks Ian

Powering an external hard drive with a tablet sounds like the recipe for desaster. Hard drives pull a lot of power and I doubt your OTG cable or Tablet is rated to supply that amount.

Possible issues I could image include data loss or damage to the tablet. I would not do that / let alone charge that thing at the same time.
