hey what is up guys I'm Tibby HD here and my challenge for this video is to talk about USB and to keep it someone interesting and also to get a point across so USB is Universal Serial bus key word being Universal this full-size USB a has been around for years but our devices are now getting too small and too powerful honestly to keep using this huge legacy port so it's time to USB see all the things we're slowly closing in on a day where we can go to work or go on vacation and just bring one cable and one charger just one thing to charge our laptop our tablets our phones everything but we're just not quite there yet so knowing that we're on our way towards USB type-c for everything and actually ever since the MacBook Pro review people have been asking well if we want to stay ahead of the curve if we don't want to get left behind we got to get stuff that's good now so what are the best USB type-c accessories available right now this video is for those so a normal thing you've probably use at some point is a flash drive a full-size USB flash drive obviously but if devices in the future are all going to use USB type-c instead you're going to want a USB type-c flash drive actually Santa takes this a step further and has made this which is a regular USB C flash drive on one end and a full-size USB on the other end and is two different connectors but it's the same Drive so same files same storage same everything just expands compatibility so that should help bridge the gap for someone living in like say 2017 I'll leave a link to this and everything else I talked about right below that like bus so we all have regular headphones and we've all probably seen wireless headphones and even lightning headphones I made a video all about those but what we haven't seen that much of is USB type-c headphones mostly because there haven't been that many devices to drop the headphone jack and just have USB type-c no dizzy so until then I wouldn't expect to see that many but one that keeps happening in 2017 I'm telling you it's going to happen now we're going to start to see more USB type-c headphones so until then this is the one and only pair of USBC headphones I've found obviously they're earbuds so if you don't like earbuds you're not going to like these but hopefully there should be way more in the next year I'm also hoping that wireless charging becomes much more popular than it has been because you kind of want to still be able to charge and listen to music at the same time anyway one of the bigger downsides of moving to USB type-c was actually the loss of MagSafe charging in the new MacBook Pros they all use USB type-c to charge so there's no more MagSafe luckily Griffin has come to the rescue and they've made this USB type-c MagSafe replacement that accomplishes the same effect if you don't mind always having this little nub always sticking out of your computer it works the same way it's not perfect and sometimes if you yank it straight off it takes both parts out of your computer but it's still better than having that cable drag your laptop off your desk and there's also car charges right so right now they're all full-size USB but again the move to the future will have way more USB type-c so you can get your hands on something like this Nomad makes this USB type-c car charger and as a bonus it has a 3000 milliamp hour battery built in so even when the car is off you can charge up so that is really convenient and I expect to see more stuff like that and then battery banks are also slowly starting to migrate to so Ankur is a pretty popular manufacturer they've made one of my favorite already this is a twenty thousand milliamp hour battery plenty of power that you can just slip in your backpack or a bag and it can easily charge up a couple tablets or smartphones or even your USB type-c laptop several times over so all these battery and power accessories are actually doing pretty well all they have to do is just switch to USB type-c to keep pushing power through that cable but the things that have to get a little more complex to push data through that cable as well that's where it starts to get a little tricky so there's a couple USB type-c mobile SSDs that I've found and these are a pretty big deal if you're a video editor if you're on the go working with really big files then you'll start to use these a lot and the glyph was pretty promising but it started to have some issues for multiple people including me on the new MacBook Pro so right now the best one I found is the Samsung t3 I've got a pair of them they go up to a terabyte and speeds are pretty great the cables nice and short so for mobile editing this makes a great addition to the set up and then at the desktop I was waiting for this one for a while but this is the promised Pegasus 3r8 it's a desktop raid array this happens to be the one with eight hard drives in it and each hard drive is six terabytes in rates so this is a 48 terabyte tower of storage so as of three videos ago I'm now keeping all of the raw video now fun fact for years I was not doing that I was just keeping the final video file and throwing away all of the raw video footage because 8k raw is just a lot now I'm just going to start keeping it all but even as good as USB type-c is at the end of the day sometimes you're just going to need another port you know you might need HDMI or you might need Ethernet and so port expanders like this Dell one are going to be good for you or even from Kickstarter the hyper drive which you've probably seen it takes one or two USB type-c ports but then adds them back and gives you a bunch of others this one gives you HDMI and SD card slot and a micro SD card slot etc if it's the MacBook Pro aesthetic pretty well it comes in the right color so silver or gold or Space Gray and if you don't mind again having a little something sticking out of your computer this can likely solve the biggest problems we have with the MacBook Pro port situation this is not one of those fading trends like USB type-c is gaining momentum and is going to be everywhere to stay it's not like 3d TVs which kind of rose and then fell or even like the sort of modular thing that we're seeing sort of spark in and out this is definitely here to stay and you're going to want to be on board when this becomes the true Universal again USB type-c should be everywhere so that's been it hope this helps hope you enjoyed a video about USB and feel free to share it for others who you think should know about the feature that's coming thanks for watching talk to you guys in the next one basis
