I currently use an old Samsung Syncmaster monitor that connects as miniDV (with a VGA to miniDV adapter). I got a new MBP and I'm looking for a hub. I therefore want something a miniDV connection.

I'm trying to choose between this

1 - this OWC dock (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TCDK10PMDSG/)

2 - this Hyperdrive dock (https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperdrive-usb-type-c-hub-with-mini-displayport)

3 - this hub (https://bourgedesign.com/products/arc-hub)

4 - just getting a VGA to USB-C converter, although I'm not sure that'll work for my computer. If I did that, I don't need miniDV for a hub.

Anyone here have thoughts or recs? I imagine getting a new monitor in the next couple years in which case I might not need a miniDV connector.

Are there any USB-C hubs with a connector for a Thunderbolt 2 or 1 device?

I'm looking for USB-C hubs for my new MBP. I have a bunch of docks and drives that connect via Thuderbolt, but it seems like none of the drives have a Thunderbolt connection. I'm thinking, instead, if I want to connect more than one drive at once, I'll just need to by multiple Thunderbolt to USB-C connectors (like this one).

Am I right about this?
