Hello. What type of USB hub are you using? It is possible that the USB hub is not providing enough power to the Apple external drive to allow it to function properly.

Apple provides a list of adapters that function with the Apple external drive here. You can review this list under the "Connect and use your SuperDrive" section of the linked article.
