    Thunderbolt/USB C hub recommendations for the new iMacs (2021)

    The new iMacs only have USB C ports, and my purposes include some legacy USB 3 hardware and an SD card slot. Many existing hubs/docks seem to cater to MacBooks with redundant features like: VGA/DVI output… gross, don't need that; Ethernet input, which the iMac already has built into the power...

    USB-A hub for 2013 MBP: recommendations?

    Hey all, For my Late 2013 MBP I picked up an USB hub made by Nedis, but it doesn't work well. Copying off the EHD to the MBP is going fast, but vice versa it's very bothersome. Two 6TB G-drive units will make lots of disk search noise, but hardly copies any files. A G-Drive 10TB will copy, but...

    USB-C hubs with two USB connectors to the MBP - are they solid and strong ?

    I've already bought a USB hub with a single port to the MBP integrated (see image below).. ...and it's outrageously bad - it was a Satechi brand and the single USB port is so flimsy to support something 20 times it's size and the things you plug into it. What holds in the ports is not...
