Good morning everybody! I have a cheap 4-port USB-A hub connected to my Mac Studio, and after many issues where my computer won’t wake up and then won’t find the external boot drive, I’ve figured out that it’s the USB hub!

Since it’s USB-A it need not be fancy, or powered, etc., I just need it to not crash my computer. What do you use? Do you have any issues? Would you “recommend it to a friend”?

Thank in advance!

    I would like usb-c hub for my Mac mini, however every one I look at seems to have significant shortcomings.

      Same here. I love the look of the satachi and I prefer their tech, but all the ports in the front? Seriously?

        Why can’t I have, say, 3 USB-C ports that do 40GB/s (or faster?!) AND fast charging? And 4k or 8k display out? For less than $800 or whatever?

          Well, for that you’d definitely need external power so you’re really looking at a dock and not a hub. CalDigit docks are amazing.
