Hello everyone,
i have recently set up a PI zero w with volumio and a pHat DAC from PIMORONI everything works perfectly.
The big problem I have is that most of my music is stored on a external HD that is powered by its USB. When I plug the HDD into the pi zero it automatically reboots the pi. Because the pi cannot support the power of the HD. And so, I can’t stream the music from my external HD
SO, I read somewhere that there is a solution to this by buying a USB Hub to help with the power problem. Am i correct?
This would help me a lot otherwise I would have to buy a load of USB’s and transfer all the data (around 400gig) + I don’t have a NAS either.
Now what kind of HUB or product would you recommend?
I just want to precise that I live in Belgium. So, I would prefer to buy something local or from Europe. No need to go on an American or Asian website to buy such a thing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks to all !!!
