Hyper, a company by Sanho Corporation that's known for its USB hubs, just made their crowdfunded HyperDrive Gen2 6-in-1 USB-C Hub available for general retail.

According to the company, the HyperDrive Gen2 has 4K, 60Hz HDR video output, USB 3.1 Gen 2 transfer speeds, compatibility with UHS-II MicroSD and SD cards at 300MB/s, on top of 100W USB-C Power Delivery support. That's double the speed and power in nearly all aspects when compared to its first-generation model, except for its PD profile (first-gen was rated at 60W).
