I don't have a hyperdrive, BUT I do have several other models, in particular, a CHOE TECH, and a Sunteck, both have not had any heat issues for me. I love the CHOE TECH one in particular because it has a network jack as WELL as HDMI, USB 3.0, SD slot AND USB C pasthrough. The downside to it, is that it attaches with a small cord, and does not plug directly in as the Hyperdive. My Sunteck is very similar to the Hyperdrive but with one less USB C port.
