In November 2023 I bought this hub for use with my 2012 Mac mini:
I didn¡¯t really need 16 ports, but I was running out of ports on my
previous hub, and I figured there was something to be said for being
sure I¡¯d always have enough ports. The hub has worked fine with the
Intel Mac.
Yesterday I dropped off the 2012 Mac and my new M4 Mac mini with my
local Mac tech so he could migrate my user account and data to the M4. I
got the M4 Mac home tonight, and it works, but items plugged into the
USB hub simply aren¡¯t recognized¡ªprinter, USB thumb drive, you name
it. When I plug things directly into the Mac, they work. Naturally I¡¯m
using these:
My Mac tech said he doesn¡¯t know of any case of a hub working with one
computer and not with another. Since the hub is the common denominator,
I figure trying another one can¡¯t hurt. This would be my chance to get
a hub with a USB-C male connector to plug into the Mac, but I¡¯d still
need some USB-A female connectors for my legacy peripherals. I don¡¯t
have any Thunderbolt peripherals, so I could theoretically plug items
into the Thunderbolt ports, but 5 ports total is still not a lot of
ports. Any recommendations as to specific USB-C hubs? Thanks.
