Hi
I have a lot of hard drives with a lot of videos on them and I would like to connect them all (or a lot) to my Samsung TV that only has one USB port. I bought two USB switch boxes, here is one of them:

Does anyone know of a USB switch that is not a USB hub? I think it would not have any electronics, just physical switches. Or would I have to make my own with something like a 4P6T switch like:

Does anyone know of any TVs that have multiple USB ports or any that allow USB hubs? I do not mind physically getting up and flipping a switch.
On the Samsung, I can only connect one drive up to 4 tb external drive (no 5 or 6) to the TV and only up to 2 tb portable (because of power)
thanks
