Yeah I ended up ordering a refurbished office mini pc, might repurpose the android box for something else down the line, like a pihole or something. Moved the plex server to my desktop and running it like that atm. That was pretty much all I was using the box for. Thanks a lot for all the help!

Thanks for the tip regarding armbian logs. I have a hunch that the hub is not the problem as it worked before reimagine and works on windows. here’s armbian logs: https://paste.armbian.com/hinutehewa

I've been using this setup for a few good weeks without issues, same powered hub and everything, however after accidentally unplugging the server and being unable to boot I decided to reimage the SD Card and now the box refuses to detect my external 1TB 2.5" HDD (powered hub). Currently running latest server Debian (Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.22_Aml-s9xx-box_trixie_current_6.12.59) on X96 Mini (Amlogic S905W). I've tried to recreate my setup as close as possible to what I had before, however, now I cannot seem to be able to detect the HDD. The OS is installed on the SD Card. lsblk looks like this: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS mmcblk0 179:0 0 57.6G 0 disk ├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 512M 0 part /boot └─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 56.6G 0 part /var/log.hdd / mmcblk1 179:32 0 14.7G 0 disk mmcblk1boot0 179:64 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk1boot1 179:96 0 4M 1 disk zram0 252:0 0 960.7M 0 disk [SWAP] zram1 252:1 0 50M 0 disk /var/log zram2 252:2 0 0B 0 disk I can hear a clicking sound coming from the hdd, however it does not want to spin up. The HDD has around 8-9% free space left, and is formatted as EXFAT. Connecting to a windows laptop the HDD spins up and gets detected instantly, even with no external power. I'm completely at a loss regarding this, especially since I did my best recreating my working setup from a few hours ago.
