Hi to all I have recently bought a MacBook Pro with four thunder bolt sockets only, and all my pheripials ie my hard drive ,camera ,card reader all have different usb connections is there a multi purpose one that you have used and recommend or am I better off purchasing different ones for different products thanks
 
Get a hub that has normal usb inputs on it.
I use this one.

Make sure you don't buy a thunderbolt cable to solve this problem, as it possible wont work and will cost far more than necessary. The port on your Mac (the physical shape) is a USB-C port, which has thunderbolt technology enabled, however I would bet all of your external devices are USB only. The above USB hubs will solve your problem, but if you simply want a cable to connect your current devices to your mac, you just need a USB-C to USB-A adapter such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01COOQIKU/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_fwYFFbG4WQ747

Great info that couldn’t find elsewhere Thankyou so much it kick starts me into learning
 
The cable you previously used for the camera will plug into the above adapters, if you don’t have one, I expect it is a Usb a to micro usb cable you need
