Have you tested the same hub on a Windows machine or real Mac? I wonder if the hub itself is misbehaving. What happens if you plug 2 or 3 USB flash disks (not SSDs)? Flash disks have lower power requirements than SSDs.I did have a USB stick inserted when I did the IOReg file. I've been doing some more testing, and it's very random and weird. I did suddenly get the T3 SSD to show up when all three devices were plugged in (the other two did not show up), but then when I withdrew one of the USB sticks, the SSD drive also disconnected. Then I pulled the SSD out and plugged in another stick, then that one showed up. I can't seem to find a pattern except for that I need to plug several drives in to get any to show up, but I can only get one to show up at a time.
I am using a USB 3.1 Type C extender cable to connect this to the computer, but it's very high quality, and when I plug in my one USB-type C stick straight to the extender cable it shows up, no problem. I have double-sided taped the hub to the underside of my desk and would love to not have to tare it down, otherwise I would have tested to stick it straight into the back of the motherboard.
Another suggestion is to use a USB Type C to Type A adapter and see if it works on a Type A port on the Designare or even on a Windows laptop.
