We focused on the most important tasks you'll likely face, such as connecting older peripherals like hard drives and hooking up an external display. USB-C can, in theory, replace every other port, and there are a seemingly infinite number of port combinations you might encounter. This all means that a critical mass of people need cables, adapters, and other ways to get older gear working with newer devices.Īfter 18 hours of preliminary research, we tested more than 58 USB-C accessories to put together this guide to the best ways to connect peripherals and devices to a USB-C–equipped computer.
