6. Losing power to the drives should not hurt them.

I do not use hubs for drives, because of what you are experiencing now.

I have a Kensington hub powering audio output devices and serving as a charging unit for various low priority devices.

I cannot recommend a particular hub maker, because they All go bad eventually.
