Whats Included

HyperDrive DUO 7-in-2 USB Type-C Hub

Q: Does this have an Ethernet port?

A: No. Other models in the HyperDrive lineup do BUT BE AWARE that the HDMI ports on those units are only 4k@30Hz. This new model here is 4k@60Hz. Important to know what you are sacrificing.

Q: Will this accessory work with MacBook Air 2020?

A: Yes, this will work with MacBook Air 2018/2019/2020 as well as Macbook Pro 16" 2019, MacBook Pro 15" 2016/2017/2018/2019 and MacBook Pro 13" 2016/2017/2018/2019/2020.

Q: Will this accessory work with the brand new MacBook Air M1?

A: Yes, this will work with the MacBook Air M1.

Q: The photo here on Best Buy for the previous HyperDrive Duo shows 1 Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 Type A ports but the description shows USB 3.0 Type A ports and TWO Thunderbolt 3 ports, and for this one there is no mention of Thunderbolt 3 ports nor USB 3.1?

A: The 40Gbps port is indicative of Thunderbolt 3 speed. So just like the original HyperDrive Duo, this one has one USB-C port capable of delivering Thunderbolt 3 speeds (as long as you're using an appropriate Thunderbolt 3 cable and the device you're plugging in is also Thunderbolt 3-compatible) plus 100W of Power Delivery, and one USB-C port capable of delivering 5Gbps speeds (plus 60W of Power Delivery, which the first version did not support on this port). As for the USB-A ports, you need to understand that "USB 3.0" and "USB 3.1 gen 1" are basically synonymous. They mean the same thing. So whether it says 3.0 or 3.1 gen 1, it means that the ports are capable of 5Gbps (you don't get to the next speed tier, 10Gbps, unless you have USB 3.1 gen 2). Nothing has changed in that regard on the new version. The company that makes this device, Sanho, only markets the new version's USB-A ports as "5Gbps" on their website (they don't use 3.0 or 3.1 gen 1 terminology), so they basically remain unchanged. So, overall, the only real difference in the ports between the old and new versions of the HyperDrive Duo is that the 5Gbps USB-C port now can deliver up to 60W of power, and supposedly the HDMI port is capable of delivering up to 4K @ 60Hz instead of just 4K @ 30Hz (which was not my experience, however ... see my posted review).

Q: Will this work with a MacBook? I just bought a new model a little before Christmas and it only has 2 usb-c ports on the left side, I was hoping this would line up and work with it?

A: Yes, it is designed to work with the new MacBook Pro. Plugging the adaptor into those two ports allows you to expand out.

Q: Will the accessory connect/fit properly with an Incase shell on a MacBook Pro 16 inch?

A: yes for me i have a clear shell case and it still works. however it doesn't plug all the way in

Q: Will the USB Type A port(s) power an Apple SuperDrive? Their DVD/CD reader/writer?

A: You can not connect it through regular usb. You will need a message on your laptop “not enough power for Apple accessories” Solution- you need to purchase usb-c adapter for the drive and use the top usb-c port on the hub.

Q: Will the USB a ports provide power? I need to plug in my audio interface which uses USB A to provide phantom power to my xlr mics

A: I do not believe this will work. As with apple devices, such as a SuperDrive that requires power through USB, it shows a message on screen that the port does not provide enough power for connected device. You may want to try using a usb A to usb C adapter and using the power pass through port.

Great upgrade to the original MacBook USB-C Hub!
I have been using and loving the original Kickstarter version since 2017 so I felt that it's time for an update and this new 2020 version did not disappoint. This new 2020 version addressed all the minor issues I had with the 2017 Kickstarter version. - It now supports 4K60Hz HDMI (was previously 4K30Hz) - New magnetic grip (now the hub feels more stable and secure on the MacBook) - It now finally works with MacBook cases (just remove the grip) - Both USB-C ports now support pass-through charging - MicroSD card goes all the way into the hub - Now includes an USB-C extension cable (so you can use it with any USB-C device, not just the MacBook - Free leather pouch to keep everything nice and neat I have been using this 2020 version for more than a week and absolutely love it. There are many copycats in the market that copied the 2017 version so they still have the same old issues. HyperDrive has always been a pioneer and probably just came out with the best USB-C hub for the MacBook Pro/Air. Absolutely Recommended!

Very useful hub
The HyperDrive Hub has ports for practically all phones and tablets out on the market. it clicks into the laptop strongly like it has teeth inside that clamp down. It also has an HDMI port to connect an additional monitor or even your living room's t.v. The two slots in the center are for a micro sd card, and for the larger sd cards that typically go into DSLR camera such as Canons or Nikons. The material is a strong metal and the gray is the same as my space gray laptop. Cons: -The black magnetic bar it comes with does not allow the screen to close fully. If you close the screen everyday, like I do, you have to use this without the black bar otherwise you'll be unplugging it everyday. -With it in use with an additional monitor and other ports such as the usb, the device gets really hot. I have a laptop stand with a fan that I keep on during use to help cool it down. -Does not have a port for ethernet. It would be a complete hub with an ethernet port. I could only wish.

Not Perfect But It Works
This hub works on my MacBook Pro. I can power up the laptop and I can attached flash drives and read photos from my camera via the the up's built in card reader. These are the positives. The design holds well to the macBook, but the cover cannot close properly due to the docking station's plastic attachment. The design of the hub does not match up with the lines of the MacBook making the fit precarious. I have used two hubs not labeled as Apple Products. This is the best I've used to date, and for the price this hub works, but it isn't a perfect fit.
