    Best Thunderbolt 3 (or USB-C) hub

    Bought my Mac mini a year ago, I have a USB-C expander (extra USB 3.1 ports, HDMI and Ethernet) plugged into it. I would like to get a hub with at least two display ports (HDMI, VGA or DP), plus an SD card reader as well. Any suggestions? Aside from CalDigit’s amazing Thunderbolt 3 dock.
