Those pesky external drives

[kimmer]

This is the last one I've bought (Apr 4, 18). The new iMac only has 4 USB ports. I needed 6. This hub 4 plus one to charge an iDevice. I only use 3 of the ports all the time, but there is a lightening cord in the last port that plugs into either the keyboard or the track pad when one of them needs a battery charge. The iDevice has another lightening cord connected to the Apple Watch charger, which I rarely wear (don't tell my son who bought it for me! ).

Thanks. Ordered and will arrive on Monday.

I have this Tripplite USB 3 hub and it works quite well for me.

Thanks, but I’m looking for one that draws power from the electric plug in the wall, not from my iMac.

It does. The website may not make this clear, but it is plugged into an AC outlet via an adapter cord.

I missed that, it's way down in the finer print. Thanks.
