Design
The HyperDrive 18-in-1 USB-C Hub has a compact design with all the cable connected ports in the rear and user accessible ports in the front like MicroSD and the headphone jack. The 18-port model weighs only 1.33 lbs and takes up very little surface area at 5.25 inches wide, 3.75 inches deep, and 1.75 inches thick.
The aluminum build with ridges allows for fast heat dissipation so the chassis remains cool to the touch. The hub can stand vertically or lie flat on the table.
The 18-port hub is available at B&H Photo for $199.99.
