I've got a similar problem, I purchased the Apple USB-C Digital AV Adapter together with the new Macbook in order to be able to expandĪnd connected an unpowered USB 3, 4 port hub to the single USB port of the adapter. (The Belkin 2-size Flash drive works fine in USB-C mode if DIRECTLY connected to the MB). And the first question about why the Belkin Flash works from the USB-3 side but not the USB-C WHEN UTILIZING THE APPLE HUB/Dongle.

OK so just wondering if there is anyone out there with similar experience(s) using either the new MBP or in general with HD's and Flash Drives utilizing powered and unpowered USB Hubs. I'll test that on the MBP with the 500 gb HD tonight.

So would this hub have worked with a MacBook Pro or iMac? Is it just that the new MB-2015 model doesn't supply enough power? (Maybe, I think - but not so sure).

(I returned the other for full credit and have not yet purchased a powered hub because frankly, I want something portable - so don't plan to do that experiment myself) So it seems to use a true HD with a USB Hub it will have to be a powered hub. But if I plug-in a SLIM 500 gb USB-3 HD (not an SSD) - then if there are any flash drives in the other ports, they immediately lose power and are "ejected" - and I get a warning message.

This works great if all 1, 2 or 3 USB ports are being used with Flash drives of 500 mb to 64 gb in size.(Note: This is an UNpowered hub - no transformer, power comes from the Mac) I also purchased a Belkin USB-3 3-port hub with 1 more port - an Ethernet port.BUT if I remove the charger and just plug-in the Belkin Flash Drive on the USB-C side to the USB-C port on the Apple Hub - NOTHING NOTE: The Belkin 2-size Flash drive works fine in USB-C mode if DIRECTLY connected to the MB.I can use the new Belkin USB-C/USB-3 flash drive in the USB port while charging, too.With this dongle (hub?) I can utilize a USB flash drive or USB 500 gb HD via the USB port while charging the MB.I also got a new Belkin 'USB-# / USB-C" 32 gb Flash Drive. I purchased an Apple dongle that has 3 ports: USB-3, HTMI and USB-C.With the new MacBook that has the single USB-C port I find these results and would appreciate any comments:
