[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1853231, member: 396914"] I read that the issue with hubs is that there are two ways for the hub to accommodate USB2 and USB-C devices used together on the hub. One is to just pass the signals through as they are, which is cheaper and doesn't work as well. The other is to convert the USB2 to USB-C in the hub and pass that to the Mac, which is what the Caldigit hub does. But that conversion costs money, so not many people go that way. I guess it depends on whether or not that USB2 connection is important to you. I seem to remember similar challenges back-in-the-day with serial port protocols before USB. [/QUOTE]
