I have a Kingston 128 GB Thumb drive with dual USB and USB C connections. I'm looking forward to giving it a go on my iPad Pro 2018 once iPad 13 comes out this fall. I also have a Seagate 8 TB external drive with two USB ports on the hub. No Mac yet but I am saving to replace my windows 10 Lenovo one of these days. Merv
