[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1800342, member: 305741"] I read through the article at the link, so thanks for posting it. When I first set up the MBP I ended up using one port for power, one for the external monitor and one for my usb hub, and that took everything expect a single port, so I bought a simple dongle to take care of the issue (see here:[URL="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077FZQS95/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077FZQS95/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL]). It is OK in the short term, but I will need something better when I get some external drives, so your link is appreciated. I tried to buy a Thunderbolt 3 ssd to use as an external drive, but the thing would not work on my MBP and I had to return it. Odd, because it worked on my wife's 2017 MBP, but not on my 2018 MBP.
