[QUOTE="Granddad, post: 1919494, member: 201274"] Hi all, I recently purchased an iMac with 2 TB ports and 2 USB C ports. I had a cheap Hub with 4 ports that I used on my MBP because the USB A ports were too close together for me to plug 2 Thumb Drives or HDs in side by side. But, that Hub would not recognize 2 HD Drives and/or Thumb Drives at the same time, it would only recognize the first one plugged in, so I was doing a lot of swapping. I want to purchase either a Hub or Dock, but don't know which to choose. My needs are to have multiple USB A ports, multiple USB C ports, an SD Card slot and a MicroSD Card slot. I have cables to charge my iPhone and iPad separately, but I guess it would be nice to have those in the Hub or Dock, but not a dealbreaker if not. I've watched a bunch of videos on Youtube, searched the Apple Forums and no help. What would you suggest? [/QUOTE]
