The HyperDrive VIPER 10-Port USB-C Hub turns 2 USB-C ports into 10 ports on the MacBook Pro(14" and 16" displays), MacBook Air, and any USB-C device (2 x 4K 60Hz HDMI, 3 x USB-A, Gigabit Ethernet, MicroSD/SD, 60W USB-C PD, and 3.5mm Audio Jack). It allows the MacBook Pro & MacBook Air (14"-16" Intel, M1, M1 Pro & M1 Max) to connect to 2 x 4K 60Hz HDMI extended displays (requires 2 x USB-C connection). Slide back to separate USB-C cables to connect to any USB-C device as a 9-port USB-C Hub (with 4K 60Hz HDMI) or USB-C to 4K 60Hz HDMI adapter.
Q: Will this Usb hub work with the new MacBook M1 2020?
A: Yes, that’s what I’m currently using it for. It was really one of the only products that worked for this use.
Q: Is this expected to be compatible with the new 13-inch MBP with the M1 chip?
A: This is a correction to my previous answer in which I stated the hub will not work with the M1 Air. The hub DOES work. In reading other discussion boards, I learned that Apple has physically tightened their USB-C jacks to make it harder for device cables to disconnect accidentally. Sure enough, I noticed a small gap between the twin USB-C plug and the side of the Air. I gave the plug a more forceful push... there was a click... and everything plugged into the hub started working. Since comments here apparently cannot be edited or deleted once submitted, I am adding this correction.
Q: Will this support two external monitors on a 2020 Macbook Pro 13 inch? Thanks.
A: The previous answer is incorrect. The new M1 Macbook only supports 1 external monitor. Even though this dock has two HDMI outputs, only one will work at a time. I unfortunately read this exact answer and went out and bought this device to end up disappointed. What you can do to get around this is to get a usb to HDMI adapter, and utilize display link technology to get a second external monitor.
Q: Does this come with the power pass through?
A: Yes, it does have power pass through. My MacBook Air M1's power supply plugs into the hub, and the hub's dual USB-C plugs transfer power when plugged into the computer. One thing to note: Apple has physically tightened their USB-C jacks to make it harder for device cables to disconnect accidentally. The first time I used the hub, it did not seem to be working. Eventually, I noticed a small gap between the twin USB-C plug and the side of the Air. I gave the plug a more forceful push... there was a click... and everything plugged into the hub came on.
A: It will for an intel based chip but not for M1 based
A: Yes, the Hyper 10-in-2 hub works fine with my new M1 MacBook Air running Big Sur iOS. However, the twin USB-C jacks on the air have been redesigned to offer a tighter fit to prevent external devices from coming unplugged accidentally. Make sure the hub's plug sits flush against the side of the machine as in the attached photo.
Q: Can I keep it plugged in all the time? Does it matter if it gets hot?
A: It only warms up after running a HDD drive on it for long periods of time transferring data
A: Yes, it is... I have a new 2021 16" MacBook M1 Pro Max and it works like a dream
