Logitech M317c and some external devices behave erratically

Hi, I currently have a Logitech M317c mouse connected to a USB hub, and the mouse tends to be acting erratically fairly often. Since I hate the trackpad on this Mac, the only solution I've heard of was to put the dongle into a USB extension cable, but I've noticed that at least one of my external hard drives will randomly disconnect whenever I'm not using the machine, so I'm curious about that one too.

One time, the external drive in question dropped off of the system, and I got a message saying that it was "drawing too much power." Is there any way to fix the two problems? I'm using an Anker USB hub and the HeyDey AD2C USB hub to connect the mouse's dongle, and 3 USB hard drives. Thanks
