Hi all, I tried another time with Y Cable, as suggested by Rattus, and now (don't know why) I can see in lsusb my HDD: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Wow
So, now I'm trying to understand if the problem is the hard disk or the hub...
Once checked this, I will know which one I have to buy...

Any suggestion?

Sorry, don't understand which brand...

Yes, I bought also an Y cable and tried your solution, but unsuccessfully.
I would specify that the HDD works corrtectly on my laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10.

Thanks,
Sergio.

Hi Trevor,
sorry for the misunderstanding.
My HDD is a 2,5'' USB Powered HDD and not externally powered HDD (sorry for my poor english).
This is why I'm a little bit confused about why it's not detected by Raspberry (I purchased the HUB specifically to power the HDD)

Thank a lot.

Regards,
Sergio.
