Thunderbolt to USB A Hub/Adapters

Hi All, I currently have a late 2015 iMac 27" and an considering upgrade to IMac studio. I currently have 4 USB A devices that I need to connect. I understand the studio comes with 2 USB A ports in the back. Would prefer to keep cables in the back ( as opposed to using the front USB C ports), so ideally could use a thunderbolt adapter/hub, but just really need two additional usb a ports. There so sooo many of these hubs on the market but most seem to offer way more than just two required usb a ports. Wondering if anyone could make a suggestion for a product that might fit my needs.


Many thanks !

  1. No such thing as an iMac Studio. It's just Mac Studio, no I, and it does not include a screen like iMacs do.
  2. You can use any USB-A Hub in one of the regular USB-A ports, or just any USB-C hub / dock that has the required ports. It does not need to be an actual Thunderbolt hub if you just require regular USB-A ports.. In general good brands to consider are UGreen, Syntech or Anker.
    1. USB C to USB Hub 4 Ports, Syntech Type C to USB 3.0 Hub with a USB C to USB Adapter (USB 2.0), Thunderbolt 3 to USB Hub Compatible with Thunderbolt 4 MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, iMac, Surface
