I'm not going to "dis" the supplier but I have had two Hubs from this supplier - in their credit, they did replace the first one with another but that failed after a while with various USB connection errors. Needless to say both hubs are now in the bin.

I bought a Belkin at twice the price and I haven;t had any problems since.

Cheap is not always the way to go.

This hub feeds the RPi and the harddrive. The moment I connect the RPi, the harddrive softly spins down a little.
The hub worked fine for just a few months. Not any more now.

An old blackberry charger powers the RPi with the harddrive still connected to the hub, video plays fine now!
Now I have to install and configure everything.. deleted my backup because I thought that one was also faulty. very annoying.. I blame ModMyPi.

@zilexa Blame yourself. The USB will only provide at most 500ma. The RPi needs at least 700ma at startup, as has been stated everywhere, the RPi needs a dedicated power supply of at least 1amp, so I'm not surprised you are having problems.

I also guess that the HDD is not self powered.

Check the amperage of the Blackberry charger and I think you will find it is above 500ma

So error ID 10 T.
