Using the HyperDrive involves plugging its USB-C connectors into the two USB-C ports on the side of the 2016 MacBook Pro. Each device is slightly larger than a pack of gum, and features two male USB-C connections sticking out of its side. The HyperDrive is machined out of aluminum, and comes in Space Gray or Silver colors to match the two available hues of the 2016 MacBook Pro. Have a look at our video walkthrough for a brief hands-on look at the HyperDrive in action. Hyper just launched a Kickstarter campaign for the HyperDrive today, but I’ve already been testing out a few almost-finished, fully-functioning prototypes, and it seems promising.
You’ll find two USB-A ports for USB 3.0 connectivity, an SD Card and microSD card reader, HDMI output, a Thunderbolt 3 port and a USB-C (gen 1) port. The hub adds all sorts of ports to the otherwise barren MacBook Pro. While it may look similar to some already existing USB-C hubs out there, the HyperDrive is Thunderbolt 3-enabled, and supports the new MacBook Pro only, as it connects to two of the machine’s USB-C ports simultaneously. The HyperDrive is a compact USB-C hub that adds some much needed port-diversification to the 2016 MacBook Pro.
