User Documentation

Q: Can I use 4 monitors with this docking station?

A: No, this will allow 3 monitors max.

Q: Does this work with 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Max?

A: Yes, I don’t see why not! It has everything you need.

Q: Will this support iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation)

A: Absolutely!

Q: Hi, Will this work with Razer 14 inch 2021 laptop. Thanks

A: undefined

Q: That item can help me to accommodate 2 pc's and 2 monitors, basically, i use two laptops during the day and i would like to toggle between them as needed without manually swapping the monitors

A: undefined

Q: I noticed that the device as a 120w circular power input. Is this for use with standard Dell power supply connectors? If yes, would if be possible, if the need was to switch between Dell and Macbook Pro, to maintain the Dell power?

A: The GEN2 18-port uses a proprietary, optional, 180w DC power adapter. Unless a power user, most of our users are able to drive enough power to the GEN2 18-port via a USB-C power adapter of at least 65w.

Q: Does this product come with an external power supply?

A: This device will not come with an external power supply. We have created the product to allow the majority of users to operate their GEN2 18-port, and connected peripherals, with their laptop's USB-C charging cable. You would connect the USB-C charger into the USB-C power delivery port for up to 100 watts.

Quality Business and general use docking station.
The HyperDrive Gen-2 docking station is reasonable priced and offers all the ports needed for peripheral devices and up to 3 monitors. The USB-C power delivery port worked well charging cell phones and tablets. This was used with a Lenovo X1 Yoga and was a better option than what Lenovo offered. The only detractors if found were the resolution quality when using more than one monitor and the lack of DisplayPorts. When using two monitors the display frequency drops from 60hz down to 30 at the 4k setting. When adding a 3rd monitor the only resolution option is basic HD. It’s good that there are two HDMi ports but it would be nice if the VGA port were changed to a DisplayPort. I would not recommend this device for gamers or users seeking maximum video performance. However this is an excellent docking station and cheaper option for business and general users who don’t require high end video rendering. I would recommend this for most users.

Love it
This little guy does it all! I use this for my ipad pro and Imac, my only complaint is how warm it gets and that you have to buy a $100 adaptor to get the full power. I think they just restocked them… I couldn’t find the adaptor anywhere else so that was a major con! I would still recommend this, you can use it anywhere for just about anything.
