The updated mobile hub expands port options for photographers while addressing noise complaints.
The Sharge Disk Pro 2 updates the mobile hub design by replacing the fixed internal drive with a user-replaceable M.2 or B&M NVMe SSD slot supporting up to 8TB. This hardware shift reduces the base price to $110. For thermal management, the active cooling system now features a 12,000 RPM fan with a larger air intake. This fan is quieter than the previous model, reacts to real-time SSD temperatures, and can be toggled off entirely. The credit-card-sized device features a magnetic back for mounting to phones or laptops. Port selection has increased to six, including SD and microSD slots, a full-size HDMI port, a USB-A 3.0 port, and two USB-C ports supporting up to 100W power delivery. The previously integrated cable is now a removable USB-C lanyard, though the device utilizes older USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection technology.
The ability to install a custom SSD up to 8TB allows creatives to scale their mobile storage and avoid hardware e-waste if a cable fails. The inclusion of dedicated SD and microSD slots alongside active cooling makes it a specialized tool for sustained data transfers in the field.
