They do. I have a PCI based 4 port USB 2.0 adaptor in an aging IBM Netvista. I
plugged the two drives into it and copied the files from one HDD directly to the
other.

It's just this one PC that it doesn't work on.

And despite Rod Spittle's bullshit about "mangling" something, there is
something inherently wrong with the way the USB ports are working. Although they
can handle any number of other peripherals such as wireless mouse/keyboard, MFC
printer, webcam and a second printer.

Plug one external drive (portable HDD, external HDD, thumbdrive, memory card
reader) in, fine. Plug a second one in, no go...

Doesn't matter. I've used another computer to copy the files over. I'd just like
to know why this particular machine cannot handle two USB drives concurrently.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, though.

And in this case, the external Seagate was mapped as Drive H. The WD portable
drive, when I plugged it in after the Seagate, was mapped as Drive I.

Probably the former. If there was a problem with the headers (by that you mean
the connectors?) then it would show up with other peripherals. Further, the two
HDDs wouldn't even work when plugged into the back ports which are soldered
directly to the motherboard.

So?

And it doesn't mean that I'm lying. Stop trying to obfuscate your way out of
that hole of yours.

Fact remains that I did mention all the pertinent facts, particularly where
others asked specific questions which required more info.

Anyway, why don't you FOAD already?
