I can't believe this is still a problem.... WHAT ARE YOU DOING, APPLE!?!
My 2019 Macbook Pro is basically not connecting any of my USB hubs properly anymore after upgrading to Monterey 12.3.1 (which I couldn't regret more if I tried).
Weird thing is my Startech USB 3.0 hub works with 3 of my RAIDs, but pluggin in a simple external 1 TB WD passport doesn't draw any power. The hub is connected using a USB 3.0 to USB-C cable.
