[QUOTE="zephar77, post: 1903237, member: 400954"] I’m looking for the same hub and I found one that might work for us on OWC. Here’s a link that should take you there. It’s $138 and connects to one of the thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports and gives you three more thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, which I think you can use for USB-C or thunderbolt 3 devices. Negotiating speed of course will be different 5 versus 40 Gb/s. But that’s funny fast, and I don’t know any hard drive that negotiates any faster than 1–2 G/s. I’ve been waiting for the new iMac 27 inch to come out, but I am beginning to believe that it’s going cost at entry-level $2500 to have all that specs that it is going to need to have. I remember when I bought my mid-2011 iMac 27 inch, I paid $2500 add a Best Buy; and, less than a year later it dropped $1799. I was A bit upset about that as I recall.
