Hyper has released a new Thunderbolt 3 docking station, featuring 16 ports geared toward professional users who need unparalleled connectivity and performance from their devices.




The HyperDrive GEN2 Docking Station boasts a DisplayPort 1.4 port that supports a single 8K device for compatible hardware, or two 4K displays for Mac, allowing users to easily connect two displays for more workspace. For those who have a collection of legacy devices, this dock features multiple USB-A ports -- two USB-A 10Gbps 5V/900mA ports, three USB-A 5Gbps 5V/900mA ports, and a quick-charge only USB-A QC 3.0 18W port.

A 40Gbps upstream Thunderbolt 3 port provides 85W of power delivery. In contrast, a 40Gbps downstream Thunderbolt 3 port acts as a DisplayPort 1.4, provides 15W of power, and enables users to daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices together. Both Thunderbolt 3 ports are backward-compatible with USB-C devices. Also included is an additional USB-C port, boasting 10Gbps transfer speeds and 5V charging capabilities.

A gigabit Ethernet port supports 10Mbps/100Mbps/1Gbps networking, while a dual MicroSD/SD 4.0 card reader cuts down on the number of adapters you need to keep track of.

The HyperDrive GEN2 Docking Station also includes 96KHz/24bit Digital Coaxial Audio, 96KHz/24bit Optical Toslink Audio, and a 96KHz/24bit 3.5mm audio jack.

The HyperDrive GEN2 Docking Station is available for preorder from B&H Photo for $349.99.

    I had a internal 10MB HyperDrive on one of my Mac SE's back in the mid '80's...

    Yeah, true. :)
    And you could be busy with HyperCard on your Mac SE, or even better, the Mac SE/30!

    Sadly, I had an SE with dual floppies. Couldn't afford the 20MB internal hard drive. :'(
    Funny, I get e-mails larger than 20MB pretty regularly.
