Fully Compatible, Reliable, High Performance Hub for M1 MacBook Air

My Computer: M1 MacBook Air Base Model 2020 How I Use This Hub: USB A #1: Anker USB 3.0 4-Port Hub Hub Port 1: USB 3 to SATA + Samsung 850 1TB (Time Machine backup) Hub port 2: Flash drive Hub port 3: Webcam Hub port 4: Lightning cable (sync with iPhone) (not enough power to charge) USB A No 2. USB 3 Adapter - EthernetUSB C #1: Samsung T5 2TB USB C #1: USB-C Adapter + USB 3 DisplayLink Adapter Popular - Plug and Play on macOS Big Sur - None Disconnects - No quirks or weird workarounds - High performance (notice no difference between offline mode and hub )Dislike - nothingthoughtsMy likes are ranked by importance. The hub must be compatible with my computer and operating system. It must also be reliable and not cause problems of its own. Finally, since it is USB 3.1 Gen 2, it should have high data transfer speeds. I'm happy to report that this hub has worked flawlessly from day one and performs great even with 7 devices plugged into it all the time. know - if you connect 7 devices to this hub, don't expect anything to be charged through it. It will be impractically slow. USB-C ports do not support video adapters. You'll need a Displaylink adapter (Cable Matters Model 202049) like the one I'm using, or plug it directly into your computer's USB-C port.
