Hyper proposes a slimmer and smaller USB-C hub solution for the 2016 MacBook Pro-- the HyperDrive, a compact device replete with 7 ports including HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, microSD, SD and regular USB.
According to the company, the Hyperdrive uses the two USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro to deliver 45Gb/s bandwidth, thus allowing to simultaneous use of all 7 ports. This includes the connection of a 5K Thunderbolt 3 display or two 4K displays, as well as the delivery of up to 100W of power to charge the laptop at full speed.
The full port count offers SD and microSD slots, dual USB-A ports, HDMI out, USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. Construction is in aluminium, with colours matching the space gray and silver MacBook Pro options. The hub sits flush with the MacBook Pro, with no connector cables required.
The HyperDrive is currently available on a preorder basis via Kickstarter, with shipments to start from February 2017.
