External HDD via powered USB hub?

Happy New Year!
I'm using the time off to refresh the ZGemma H2S. The old setup (Open ATV 5.something) had regular crashes, often didn't record, etc, so I'm now updating to a newer version.
(6.3 from Jan 2020, 6.4 crashed).

Another thing I noticed: The ZGemma seems to get powered from the USB hub. When I plug out the power cable, the ZGemma power light still stays on. Only when I also unplug the hub the light goes off. Is this normal?

It seems the hub is a bit funny, however, it's the only powered one I have and I just want to double check before I buy a new one...

Many thanks in advance!
Andre
