Thanks Joe, final question while waiting for Mini to come:

All my 3 externals HD are TypeA. The mini only has two Type A ports -- and one will be for Type A hub. (other ports are thunderbolt/ usb 4 right) What think idea, (if possible/ exist), of getting a Type A to USB 4 or Thunderbolt. coverter, so at least the all external hardrives are going direct into computer (as they are all now) and not into a Hub.

Currently: Main data external, back up for that external, TM, and Hub going direct back of 27" -- 4 things, 3 hardrive and one Hub cord directly into back of 27"
