Hi all, any recommendations for a USB Hub to suit Google Chromecast?
I know it has to be USB C and have a port to power the Chromecast.
No Ethernet required, just 4 or so USB ports for flash drives to be inserted.

I found it best to upgrade the power supply if adding additional usb hub, in my case I ran a HDD , the supplied psu for the Chromecast didnt like the additional hub/Hdd/Ethernet.
I've tried a regular USB C hub that works with my PC on the Chrome-cast with Google TV and never managed to get it to read a flash drive.
Later after a bit of reading I realised that a special OTG adaptor is needed (which I got from here(amazon.com.au)).
Works like a charm and I've managed format that as an expansion drive.
