I use an Anker USB 3.0 Hub (7 ports plus 3 charging) for all of my nonsense. I plug that into the Mini itself though. Bam. PORTS. I use audio interfaces - headphone DAC, webcam, drives, etc. If you want that many ports - make sure you get something with power. I would just recommend investing in a proper Thunderbolt 3 dock in that case like the Caldigit TS3 + like I mentioned up above.

I picked up a used hub on ebay for $16 compared to the price at the link.

Like I realize this isn't Thunderbolt, but would something like this help me out?

That looks good! Would an Anker 3.0 hub work?

Does this kind of hub just work on its own? No need for other USB ports Or is it powered by another, already in there USB port? Because if that's how it works, I think I only have 2.0s.
