I have a Mac mini M1 and use one of the mini's thunderbolt ports to connect to the LG UltraFine 4K. I have an external hard drive, usb Superdrive, printer which uses USB, etc. The display has three USB-C ports and two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports that function as downstream USB-C ports (5Gbps) and offer additional connectivity and power to compatible devices and accessories. I have a tendency to just use the mini's ports to connect to the LG UltraFine 4K and was wondering how others more efficiently use the ports.
