I need one for a USB2 audio interface, USB2 keyboard Controller, USB2 iLok, UAD Satellite (thunderbolt), Ethernet, and SSD hard drive, as well as a card reader. Any recommendations? I imagine, since the four T3 outputs are the same, someone has recommendations??
Got a tip for us?

The StayGo is a great device and provides 85W passthrough PD when using a 100W charger, after deduction of 15W for the hub. Perfect for a lot of people. Might be overkill at $100 if the OP is looking for "JUST" a simple bus powered device.
Even something like the IOGEAR GUH3C37SD gets some of the way there for under $20 (USB & card readers).

If I go the current, new 16" MacBook Pro route, it seems the StayGo would be the choice. Thanks to you both! I've been looking at various hubs. I'd use every port except the HDMI, but hey, maybe a new monitor is in my future as well? StayGo does a great job clearly defining its product. And $100 isn't bad at all.
The new 16" MacBook Pro seems to have at least addressed the thermal issues. But what about fan noise? It runs at near 100 degrees constantly; though performance has improved significantly. I wonder how long before they bump up to the next level? Processor, screen, memory...
Nice to know that $100 gets me by the lack of connectivity part...
