The video output selection is also really great! Being able to connect 3 monitors on such a small device seems like a good deal, but I will get back to that in a bit, because it doesn’t quite work like that on a Mac (yet). I also really like the inclusion of the UHS-II card reader, this makes it easy for videographers and photographers to get high-speed transfers for their files from their SD cards. I really like the price point of this hub, it’s not too expensive for a USB-C hub but it almost packs all the things you would see on a ThunderBolt 3 dock, which are usually twice the price of this one. Also, it would have been nice to see a detachable (and also braided) cable, but that is not the case on this device. It makes it a bit awkward to connect the device now and I’m not a big fan of that. The only thing I don’t like about the design is the placing of the cable, I think it should have been on the back of the device, instead of the front. The USB-C port on this device is only to power your computer or tablet, but not for data transfer like a harddrive. On the back, it has 2 USB-A 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, 2 HDMI ports, 1 DisplayPort port and a USB-C 100 watt power delivery port. On the front you have 2 USB-A 3.0 ports, the UHS-II ports, the 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C cable that connects the dock to your device. On the back of the device, you have 2 leds on the RJ-45 port, these indicate the network traffic your device is using. It features a white led light at the front of the device, which indicates that it is connected to a device and that it is working.
This is normal for docks and hubs though. According to Hyper, it was designed to keep the heat of the device to a minimum, and that does seem to work! It doesn’t get hot at all, only a bit warm. The design of the HyperDrive Gen2 is very modern and sleek, I really like it.
