I think that a powered hub or direct power are the only options...Even the Pi 5 won't support that much power draw per port. I think it's 1.6A TOTAL....and I would be concerned that if you try to backfeed power into the Pi's ports; that could damage it.Thanks terribleted,I was looking at that option. I also checked other models that people were trying https://elinux.org/RPi_Powered_USB_Hubs - apparently there are no much USB3 hubs with 10W output per port without reported issues...you can buy the powered hub.

But regarding this one - I don't have space to fit device inside my enclosure. And solving a simple supply issue by dropping in another costly PCB is a bit of an overkill.
