People who know about computers...why might a hard drive 'argue' with a keyboard and mouse?

I've just bought a new expansion drive, a 5TB Seagate, and when it's plugged in my keyboard doesn't work and my mouse is flaky.

Why might that be?

Keyboard and mouse are wireless ones from Microsoft.

The drive is plugged in (well, it isn't at the moment but when it is) to a USB3.0 hub.


ETA: Fixed, thanks to a bright spark on FB. It was that I was plugging it into a hub, not into a USB thingy directly. Frustrating because I only have one USB 3.0 connector, which is why I have a USB 3.0 hub. But there you go.
