Finally pulled the trigger on MBP 15-inch, moving from a 2013 iMac and have a lot of older USB bits and pieces I’ll still need to use, hard drives, Bowers & Wilkins speakers, printer, etc.
I’m looking at hubs and totally overwhelmed by the options. What do you guys recommend?
Ideally I want a set up where I can plug one cable in and out if I move away from my desk and external monitor.
Thanks
Hi
I have the same setup and use this, works perfectly well for me. I’m sure there are fancier setups but it was cheap and does the job.

Thanks! Sadly no SD card reader though. Did you consider thunderbolt docks?
I got the Caldigit TS3 and really like it. I have my monitor, speakers, Scarlett interface, LAN (with Time Machine on that) and power just by plugging in one lead.
It’s pricey though.
They now have a Plus version with more ports, including SD.
Been reading good things about that dock. What’s the advantage of getting one with thunderbolt over just a usb-c?
Though I haven’t used one myself, my former company was looking at the Satechi brand hubs. We were looking at this one because it sits flush with the unit.
Though I do like the Ethernet port on this one:
Sorry I liked the wrong one! It was this one I got.
I didn’t want to pay the money for a full on dock and lose the space on my desk.

Thanks for the replies! A lot of options to research.
