hub

I have recently been given a Mac mini "Core i5" 2.3 (Mid-2011) with only a power cord. It has 8GB RAM and a 500GB HDD. I have been looking for a dock /hub for it so I can use my existing external monitors I had been using with my Windows Laptop. I am assuming I need a Thunderbolt 1 Dock. Is...

I'm looking for a relatively simple dock for my MBP14, which has enough USB-C ports for 2 external SSDs and 1 mouse, and can charge my Macbook via a single USB-C cable. I have found some options from Anker, Caldigit, Satechi and OWC which would fit the bill, but they're all really new TB4 docks...

Could you recommend a hub with a TB3 or TB4 upstream port and at least 2 (two) TB3 or TB4 downstream ports and a M.2 NVMe 2280 slot? Thanks in advance!

I have two M1 MacBook Pro’s running Venture 13.6.1. Both are connected to a hub via the MBP USB port. The hub has several USB ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port.

I have lost track of this problem. Is there any news on this or recommendations on how to avoid this problem?

Hi, I would like to connect my macbook pro to a first screen in USB and another one in HDMI at the same time. I would like to connect only one usb cable to my laptop and this will transfer the signal for both screens (and also charge the laptop) Do you know if a hub or a dongle can do this? Thanks

So we all know that some companies hide their dirt regarding security issues. Given this fact, it is with hesitation that I purchase items that I have had my eye on. I'm hoping to get feedback regarding my concerns as to whether or not I can trust these items for network connectivity, and...

Which external enclosure would you recommend for use with an M1 Mac Studio and a mix of SATA HDDs and SSDs? I am looking for 4 drives in one enclosure, more or less. When I last looked into this over a year ago I settled on the Sabrent DS-SC4B. Is that still a solid choice or did something new...

Hello all! I need a mac mini hub that includes a power port...I like the Satechi, but the problem is, it would require me to plug in the power cord each time. Basically, I move my mini between my two offices that each have their own monitor/mouse/keyboard. My goal is to plug in only one cable...

So, I'm feeling confused. I going to need to be able to connect about 7 old style usb 2/3 devices to a new MBA M2. The type of devices will be wired keyboard/mice, printers, flash drives and bus powered HDD's. Can I just buy any random USB2/3 hub and use a USB to USB-c adapter to connect the...

The two-USB-C-only iMac has me wondering how I do the following: add my second monitor (which I connect via USB-C) - AND... use my wired Keychron keyboard and use my wired trackball I have an unused Anker USB-A hub and can my second monitor via-USB-C somehow go into that via some adapter? I...

My Early 2015 Macbook (Retina, 12-inch) only has a USB-C port. Is it possible to connect using it 2HDDs (via USB), a display via HDMI and the MBook's charger cable? Of course, all that would be connected through some hub. So the questin is if that hub should be powered or not?

I'm expecting my new macbook next week but I'm having a hard time picking out a dock. My needs are pretty simple: connect two external monitors with HDMI (or with an adapter I have, 1 HDMI & 1 Display Port) and ideally get some extra USB-A/USB-C ports, but I'm on a budget. I realize the...

I'm looking for an M.2 SSD enclosure that can also act as a USB hub but the only ports I need are extra USB A and C ports. I've seen this one and it ticks nearly all of the boxes except the USB C port seems to be for charging only. Are there any good alternatives?

What is the *total* USB3 and USB 2 bandwidth across the non-Thunderbolt USB ports on a Mac Studio Max? Breaking in my Mac Studio Max, trying to decide which USB device goes where, and trying to interpret the System Report which looks something like: > USB 3.1 Bus [Any USB devices...

Hi all, I am considering getting an iMac24" to replace my iMac27", which is unfortunately gone obsolete. The iMac24 has only 4 ports, 2 USB-C and 2 Thunderbolt. On my old iMac I have a number of USB3.0 hard drives that need to be connected to my new iMac24 and most of them are directly plugged...

Hello, I was wondering, if I were to get a FireWire 400 hub, can I boot from things connected to it? I am asking because my iBook G4 only has one FireWire port and I wasn't sure if this is a viable solution. FireWire drives are pricey and I know that I can't boot from a drive connected to my USB...

I plan on upgrading to a Mac Studio Max. To figure out what I need exactly I made a diagram of the stuff I plan to attach: What do you think? Does this make sense? Anything I can optimise? One big problem: How do I attach my old Apple Cinema Display (Mini Displayport & USB A) which I want to...

I've found a need for yet another Thunderbolt Hub. Currently I'm very happy with the devices I have, however the extra USB A legacy ports in addition to the Thunderbolt ports is very appealing to me over the Anker hub I already own. I see that a lot of people are having issues with the TS4...
