Connect Two USB Drives to Media Player

I have tried to connect two 1G USB drives to my HD-200 with mixed results. Get error message on some movies and some play fine. When one one drive is connected at a time all movies play fine. Should two drives work ?

The unit does not work as a very effective power supply. So, while it certainly sends out enough to power one USB thumb drive, I would doubt it could handle two USB external SSDs. Most external HDDs would need an additional power source.

So, even though you're probably just using two thumb drives, the combined power draw may be too much for the unit to handle. I'd be surprised, but not shocked.

The 2 External Hard Drives have there own power supply, so that is not the issue. My question is can 2 external hard Drives be connected at the same time to the Sage Media player?
