If you're a proud owner of the latest iPad Pro or iPad Air, you may find yourself missing the days of having multiple ports on your device. Fear not, because Targus has come up with a sleek and practical solution for this problem with the Sanho Hyper - HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub.

Design and Compatibility:

The Targus Sanho Hyper - HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub is precisely designed for the latest iPad Pros and iPad Air (2020 models). It perfectly blends in with the colour and texture of your iPad with its silver aluminium body, giving it a subtle professional and modern look. The hub's dimensions are 11.9 x 3.7 x 1.3 cm, making it easy to carry in your bag while travelling. Additionally, the device is compatible with MacBook, smartphones, and other USB-C devices.

Ports and Performance:

The Sanho Hyper - HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub offers six ports: 3.5mm audio jack, USB-A, SD, microSD, USB-C, and HDMI. You can attach the HyperDrive to your iPad using the USB-C port, and you're ready to use all six of these. You can connect any HDMI-enabled display or monitor and stream videos with 60Hz 4K resolution. The USB-C port charges your iPad with the Power Delivery (PD) feature – providing 60W of power – giving you the ability to charge up quickly and get back to your usual work. The hub also consists of SD and microSD card readers that can transfer data at speeds of 104MB/s. Lastly, the device has a 3.5mm audio jack enabling you to use headphones, earbuds, or speakers.

Performance-wise, the Targus Sanho Hyper - HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub does not disappoint. I tested the SD and microSD card slots with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card, and it transferred the data quickly and hassle-free – all while managing to keep the device cool. The HDMI port is capable of 60Hz 4K resolution and easily connected to my 4K monitor, providing me with high-quality visuals. The USB-C port transferred files as per the specifications, and the 60W charging kept my iPad charged up throughout the day.

As of writing this review, the Targus Sanho Hyper - HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub has three customer reviews, with an average rating of 4.0 out of 5. One customer stated that the HyperDrive's HDMI port stopped working after a few weeks of use. However, Targus customer support readily replaced the product, and the customer was delighted with the new module. Another customer said that the hub's HDMI Port resolution was not as per the specifications; however, it's worth noting that if the iPad display's resolution isn't 4K, the hub's HDMI output will be downgraded to support the iPad's display. Finally, one customer mentioned how the device managed to keep their iPad charged while using external accessories, saving them the hassle of charging the iPad frequently.
