USB 3.0 Hubs not compatible with M1 Mac mini
After a lot of problems I have discovered that a USB 3.0 hub does not work with the M1 Mac mini, however if you get a HUB that is 3.1 everything if fine. The symptoms are intermittent restarts, crashes, drives falling off line, and beach ball of death on almost every mouse click.
Once I got the USB 3.0 hub (and yes I tired several to be sure), everything worked fine. Once I attached a 3.1 hub all was good.
My question is why? what is so different between the 3.0 standard and the 3.1 standard that would cause this?
Mac mini, macOS 11.3
