What compatible adapter (USB C TO USB A (3.0) can I use with Mac M1 (with Big Sur)

Hi,

I wish to use one of my two USB A-type (3.0) inputs on the back of my Mac M1 because the other two USB C's are used up by the other peripherals.

The problem I am having is finding adapters that are compatible with the M1 Mini and Big Sur software. So, does anyone know of any compatible USB C to USB A (3.0, 5Gb transfer rate) adapter converters that they can recommend?

Thanks.

The M1 Mac and OS has nothing to do with the adapter. Just be sure it supports USB 3.0+ to maximize speeds and it should work. I use these:
