Hi everyone
I store all my media on 3 external SSDs (Photos, Video and iTunes) and 1 external HDD (Photo and Video Archive).
These drives are connected to a 4-port USB 3 hub running off one of the USB 3 ports on the back of my iMac.
Now I've upgraded to a new iMac with Thunderbolt ports, I've been looking for a hub that can plug into one of my Thunderbolt ports that has 3 or more USB C / Thunderbolt ports off that so I can take advantage of faster speeds.
Despite searching I can find nothing. The closest I can find is a hub that plugs into a Thunderbolt port but has 3 or 4 USB 3 ports only with only one or no USB C ports (usually a charging port only), or hubs that offer a plethora of connections that look frankly confusing :-(
Does the hub I'm searching for actually exist?
thanks, Nick
