Morning Smuggers. Happy New Year and all that… Let’s hope, etc. etc.

Having just moved home and had to re-establish the office/studio I realise it’s time to buy a new/better USB/Thunderbolt hub for my 2018 Mac Mini. The thing I’m lacking mostly is USB A sockets, but a hub that offers more of everything would also be good. So, any recommendations?

Cheers,
Phil

I'd also like to have recommendations for a usb/thunderbolt hub for my iMac. Everything seems more geared for Apple Macbooks i.e. to recharge as well which I don't need for my desktop.

Happy New Year everyone!

You might start here - https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-thunderbolt-dock/

If it is just USB hubs then - https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-usb-c-hubs-and-docks/

I’m still using an Elgato thunderbolt 2 hub connected to my M1 Mac mini using an Apple thunderbolt 3 to 2 adaptor. Working just fine

You could try this one form OWC, Thunderbolt 3 Dock (14 Ports). I’ve had one for over a year and would highly recommend it.
