So, the culprit: I used an old USB extension cord to attach the 4-port USB hub to the laptop. The USB extension cord is rather old, and I didn't really give it a thought; but it's probably 1.0, whereas the laptop has 3.0 ports, the hub is 3.0, and the hard drives themselves are probably 3.0, too, I believe.
I hope that I can find some newer USB extension cords. I wonder, do they even make them any more?
Sure—they're all over Amazon. Although if you're going to be abusing the ports that way, you might want to consider a powered hub, if you can stand having to deal with Yet Another Power Cord.
