I tried connecting the same hdd and powered USB hub to a Raspberry Pi, and it worked perfectly. I then tried connecting a USB memory stick directly to the BBB, and that didn't work either. I've never used a BBB, so don't know what to expect, but could it be that my copy is just defective? Ie a hardware problem with the USB connector or bus?
