GoKawiilSharge launches DIY Disk Pro 2 SSD dock with HDMI 2.1 and 80W charging
Sharge has unveiled the Disk Pro 2, a follow-up to its popular Disk Pro external SSD, this time allowing users to install their own M.2 drives up to 8TB in 2230, 2242, or 2280 sizes. The device comes in two variants: a Lite version with HDMI 2.0 output and a 5W minimum power draw, and an Ultra version with HDMI 2.1 supporting 4K@144Hz or 8K@30Hz, a faster card reader, and just 1.5W minimum power consumption. Both models include active cooling, magnetic attachment, and 80W passthrough charging.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By letting users supply their own M.2 drives, Sharge turns the Disk Pro line into a more flexible, cost-effective option than fixed-capacity external SSDs, while still packing in a hub with HDMI and card reader support. However, since both models share a 10Gbps USB interface, the device is best suited as a portable multi-function hub rather than a primary high-speed storage dock, since a single modern SSD can already saturate that bandwidth alone.
- Disk Pro 2 supports user-installed M.2 SSDs up to 8TB in three common form factors.
- Ultra model adds HDMI 2.1, faster card reads, and lower minimum power draw versus the Lite version.
- Both variants are limited to a 10Gbps interface, capping total throughput despite added hub features.
Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD — The Disk Pro 2 is a bring-your-own-drive enclosure, so it needs a fast M.2 2280 NVMe stick inside — and Samsung's 990 Pro is a go-to pick for that job. Drop one in and you get a pocketable external SSD with the dock's active cooling keeping thermals in line during long transfers.
