Sharge Releases Disk Pro 2 SSD Dock with DIY M.2 Support, Active Cooling, and HDMI
Key points
- Sharge released Disk Pro 2, a DIY SSD dock.
- Supports M.2 drives up to 8TB (2230, 2242, 2280 sizes).
- Features active cooling and integrated USB/HDMI hub.
- Available in Lite (HDMI 2.0) and Ultra (HDMI 2.1) models.
Product Launch and Features
Sharge has introduced the Disk Pro 2, an external SSD dock designed for users to install their own M.2 drives. This device supports M.2 sizes 2230, 2242, and 2280, with capacities up to 8TB. It includes a small fan for active cooling and an integrated USB/HDMI hub.
Model Variations
The Disk Pro 2 is available in two versions: the Lite model and the Disk Pro Ultra. The Lite model features HDMI 2.0 (4K@60 Hz) and a 5W minimum operating power. The Ultra model offers HDMI 2.1 (4K@144 Hz or 8K@30 Hz), a lower 1.5W minimum power draw, and a faster card reader. Both models maintain a 10 Gbps interface, similar to the original Disk Pro.
Design and Portability
Measuring 3.65 x 2.33 x 0.531 inches, the Disk Pro 2 is slightly larger than its predecessor but remains compact. The device features a transparent top, allowing visibility of internal components. A notable improvement is the removable USB-C cable, addressing a potential point of failure and offering flexibility for cable length.
Intended Use and Limitations
The Disk Pro 2 is positioned as a portable, multi-functional hub, suitable for travel due to its ability to connect to monitors, peripherals, and SD cards without additional adapters. However, its 10 Gbps bandwidth limit means that a modern M.2 drive can saturate the throughput before other devices are connected, making it less ideal as a primary, always-on hub for high-demand scenarios.
