Bought the product online, they delivered as promised and it WORKS!

I’m trying to assume positive intent with what Apple has in mind by having 4 usb-C ports in their new MacBook Pros and forsaking all others so that you have to have dongles up the yin yang for your productive work! Not happy about that. That said Sanho Corp. took care of the issue brilliantly with their new Hyper hubs. I got the HyperDrive SLIM 8-in-1 USB-C Hub, giving me all the ports from my previous MacBook Pro and a bit more. When streaming and downloading data it’s good to have a hard wired net connection. The flip-open gigabit Ethernet port is genius offering that extra port in the hub that the previous model Mac did not have while keeping its slim form factor. It’s also good having the extra micro SD port for use of an SD card from a GoPro for example while still having the option of the standard sized SD port. I have two gripes, however. The first is the mini display port. While good for videographers it would have been great if it were a Thunderbolt port for more versatility. The second is that the two usb-2 3.0 ports don’t support an Apple SuperDrive. I spoke with customer support prior to my purchase who explained that the Apple SuperDrive has an ID chipset which is only compatible with Apple proprietary ports and adapters. Not any fault on the part of Sanho Corp, just frustrating again that Apple have your hands tied. I was assured, however, that you can use other third party BluRay/DVD/CD drives if needed. One other thing to point out, which is expected is that the hub can get a bit warm when used to charge your Mac, playing video to an external display or if all ports are used simultaneously. Just be aware of that. I’ve not gone as far as checking data transfer rates for external drives, so if that’s something to question check out such stress tests on YouTube. Overall the HyperDrive SLIM 8-in-1 USB-C Hub is a sleek, slim and very versatile hub to solve most if not all of your dongle frustrations. Portable enough to carry in your pocket, reliably works well and doesn’t compromise the use of the other usb-c ports of your MacBook Pro. Amazing job Sanho!

This purchase from HYPER vanished somewhere, but I bought from B&H. When HYPER is out of stock on product you might see which of your dealer still has the item, and direct your customers to them. This is the second time I have tracked down and bought an "Out of Stock" item from B&H.
