A few years ago, having a hub was the most common, due to the reduced number of USB ports that some computers offered us. But as the years went by, we have been able to see how the use of this device was reducing, until Apple started implementing the USB-C port. Currently, if you have one of the new MacBook with USB-C connection, it is more than likely that you have seen the need to buy a hub, either to connect an HDMI monitor, to use the network cable, to read memory cards ... On the Internet we can find a large number of devices of this type, but none like the one shown in this article. I am talking about HyperDrive 8 en1.
The HyperDrive 8 in 1 in a hub, like the ones we can find in any store, with a USB-C connection, but that in addition to the large number of connections it offers us, it is also compatible with Qi wireless charging, so that we can also use it to charge our iPhone when we go on a trip or go out with our Mac to work without having to take the lightning cable or the wireless charging base. The 8-in-1 HperDrive has just arrived on the Kickstarter platform.
The HyperDrive hub offers us three USB 3.1 ports, one 4k HDMI connection, RJ-45 connection for network cable, microSD and SD card reader and in the upper part we find the stand where we must place the iPhone and charge it thanks to the wireless charging system it integrates. In addition, it has a USB-C port with which we can charge our device while we use the Mac.
The Kickstarter campaign started today and during the first day it has already exceeded $ 100.000, the amount necessary to carry out the project. We can support the company with 99 dollars to get this hub, with a discount of 60 dollars on its final price. Or we can support the company with $ 158 and get two 8-in-1 HyperDrive and save 50%.
