Plug a Regular USB directly into the new Macbook USB-C?

[jbuba]

I'm a little confused about this new USB-C port on the new Macbooks. Will you be able to plug in a regular USB flash drive or other regular sized USB cable directly into the new port? Or will you need an additional dongle adapter? Seems like a hassle to have to carry around a dongle adapter in case I may need to plug in a standard USB cable.

I was under the impression that you could plug in USB flash drives directly, but then I saw this USB-C to USB adapter on the Apple Store...

You will need an adapter.

yes it sucks, when buying the 12" rMB you get a back pack for free to carry all the adapters

Actually, one multi-port adapter like this will likely serve the needs for most users.
