Every morning I boot my laptop connected to an external monitor via hdmi cable via the hyperdrive. Every morning I need to unplug the laptop's power source to get the monitor to awaken, talk to the laptop (via the hyperdrive) and see my laptop's screen.
I purchased two of these units in December 2018. I was happy with the slim compact design but less than a year later one of the units USB ports are failing consistently so that I can not use it to connect either my back up drives or a Jabra VOIP headset.
I am very glad I purchased this HyperDrive. First off, it's slick design is beautiful and pairs well with my MacBook, second, the ports it has are just what I need it is easy and light weight to pull out whenever I want. The only thing I don't like is that some of the ports are a little tricky to get chords in and out of. Otherwise, it's great!
2 months ago I purchased a HyperDrive SLIM 8-in-1 USB-C Hub, to connect my Macbook to my Retina display monitor. It is always very hot to the touch when connected and regularly loses connection with my monitor so I have to disconnect everything and reconnect. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get everything connected again. For the cost of this hub I would expect it to work better than it does. I'm disappointed.
Good but the thunderbolt 2 port doesn't work.

Sorry, but I believe you may have confused the Mini Display port on the Slim 8 in 1 for Thunderbolt 2 port, the 2 types of port look identical. But the port on the HyperDrive is only designed and spec as a Mini Display Port for Displays only as advertised and is not advertised for or support thunderbolt 2 devices.
So far the best i have bought and tried for my macbook pro. Everything you need in one small slick package. Abolutely 'the best'. Really recommend it.
