Spend some money for a quality powered USB hub. It being powered externally is important, because most USB ports that aren't C with power delivery are limited on the amount of amperage they put out.

I got https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Aluminum-Switches-Included-HB-PU16/dp/B07KHRLSTT last year and it's been great; after having two $30-dollar hubs crap out on me. Buy once, cry once

An $80 16-port USB 3.0 hub will do what those do, for a lot cheaper. Plus that 2nd link is only a USB2 hub, which would be unbelievably slow for a full wipe/restore with a lot of devices connected to it.

Yes, I do it all the time, just use a hub with a decent brick power supply 90--100W not the lower powered ones with just the plug power supply at 24-36W. You risk HDD disconnecting if underpowered.

I have no trouble with this one.

The one I use is the 7-port version of this one: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Aluminum-Switches-Included-HB-PU16/dp/B07KHRLSTT/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1RP0QGOHD16F9&keywords=sabrent+usb+on+off&qid=1653716428&sprefix=sabrent+usb+on+off%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-4

That 16-port is kind of overkill, but it seems like the 7-port version isn't for sale anymore.

Hi thanks that’s in fact what I’ll do as we have lots of them around I was just looking at options. The one I tend use is

As it’s high powered enough to work with even a few external drives.

Gotcha maybe try something like this?

Like the previous poster suggested you can get a USB HUB with individual on/off switches. Now I have given you 3 options. Good luck.

This is the USB HUB I use.

Good point! I was looking at this one:

I’ll see if they list that anywhere!

I use this one

Just Velcro to the right upright.

I actually haven't found USB-C hubs that are just "1 USB-C port to 16 USB-C ports". Reached out to our Apple System Engineer, and they don't have a good answer. Some smaller hubs, but nothing in the 10+ range.

Something like this is best I've found, but USB 3.0. I'll probably wait a few months in hope of a USB 4.0. But even so, if it's running at 5.0 Gbps, that's ~ 300 Mbps / device which would be pretty snappy , with the key hopefully being, reliable. Certainly be better than "imaging" over WiFi like we have been.

like this one? 16 ports $70

i have this one now.. but wondering if i should spring for the one you suggested..

This is what I use but I would prefer the USB ports in the back and the switches on top or the front.

Hi, I have been using my usb hub (https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Aluminum-Switches-Included-HB-PU16/dp/B07KHRLSTT) to charge my new phone with usb cable. I know remaining time isnt fully accurate but it still takes way too long to charge like %20 in 2 hours.

Well these are the ones that work for me:

The only issue I've had with them is that when I connect my keyboard to the same hub, they give issues. But this is a self-built keyboard with custom firmware, probably it just has a bug that causes issues on the bus. Other devices connected at the same time works fine.

I use this.

Works well and is powered so can use it a wide range of externals including usb powered externals

Technology

/u/dayone_27 I found this one:

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Sabrent-cargador-conmutadores-individuales-HB-PU16/dp/B07KHRLSTT

90W in total power and 2.5A per port. External 2,5” HDD needs around 0.5A and around 5-10W if I’m not wrong…

I tried to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KHRLSTT but it didn’t work for me.

For the small price difference: buy a USB 3.0 hub. You will get tired of taking an hour to move a plot when you know 3.0 could do it in 20 min.
