HyperDrive: Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Hub for 2016 MacBook Pro
Created by HYPER by Sanho Corporation
HyperDrive is the World's Most Compact and Fastest 50Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Hub specifically designed for the 2016 MacBook Pro. It is the first hub in the market to utilize two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro to deliver the fastest 50Gb/s bandwidth across 7 ports (HDMI, USB 3.1 x 2, micro SD, SD, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 with 100W Power Delivery), virtually restoring all the ports found on the previous 2015 MacBook Pro model.

From the private messages and comments posted by backers here, we gather that some of you are not aware that HyperDrive (like the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C connectors themselves) are reversible and you can actually use the HyperDrive on either side of the 2016 MacBook Pro with Touchbar (sorry non-Touchbar 2016 MacBook Pro users, you only have 2 x Thunderbolt 3 USB ports on the left side only)

HyperDrive can be used on either side of the MacBook Pro
The problem was the blue LED activity indicator light was only visible on one side of the HyperDrive.
Blue LED activity indicator light only visible when HyperDrive is inserted on the left side of the 2016 MacBook Pro
The solution is to move the LED activity indicator light to the bottom of the HyperDrive so that it is visible from either orientation. We have also made the LED activity indicator larger and changed the LED activity indicator color from blue to white, to be consistent with the white LED backlit keyboard.
We hope you like this.

P.S. Don't worry about the HyperDrive colors not matching the MacBook Pro. We were just experimenting with different shades of color. The final HyperDrive will match the Silver and Space Gray colors of the MacBook Pro.

Thank you for your overwhelming support that has allowed us to reach our $100,000 funding target in under 7 hours since launch. We have now raised over $200K in a single day.
Your strong support has given us the needed affirmation to place a larger raw materials order and start mass production later this month, earlier than scheduled.
We will announce $300K and $500K stretch goals in the next update.

Almost there for $500K stretch goal - Free leather pouch for HyperDrive

We are almost at $500K funding!
Help us push past $500K by clicking the "Share" buttons on the main HyperDrive project page NOW
So that we can announce the next $750K stretch goal (which will be a good one) and unlock this stretch goal of free leather pouch.
Now an update on the leather pouch
In our previous update, the leather pouch was too tight so we loosen things a little.
We also experimented with dark brown leather color but ultimately decided to go with black leather color.
In addition to experimenting with different leather colors, we were also testing different Space Gray and Silver color shades for the HyperDrive to find the perfect match to the MacBook Pro.
That's it for now.
If you have not done so already, help us blast past the $500K goal by going to the main HyperDrive project page NOW and click the "Share" buttons so that we can announce the next $750K stretch goal (which will be a good one) and unlock this free leather pouch.
