Sharge’s Disk Pro Is the Ultimate Portable SSD Dock With HDMI USB and MagSafe-Style Magnets

IFA is always a whirlwind, but amidst the usual tech parade, Sharge’s Disk Pro SSD stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t just another gadget on display; it’s become my essential travel companion. From capturing sun-drenched memories at the Snapdragon Summit in Maui to its current deployment in London for a top-secret briefing, this little drive has proven its worth.

For a month, the Disk Pro has been practically glued to my MacBook Pro. Normally, I’m a minimalist when it comes to peripherals, but this drive is different. It’s not just an external SSD; it’s a game-changer.

The Disk Pro isn’t just functional; it’s a statement. Beyond the expected HDMI, USB 2, and USB 3 ports, it boasts Sharge’s signature transparent design – a captivating showcase for the tech within. Paired with its vibrant yellow USB-C cable, it injects a dose of personality into your setup. Cleverly, the integrated USB-C port isn’t just for tidy cable management on the go; it’s a power and data hub, capable of delivering up to 100W via USB-C PD or blazing-fast 10Gbps file transfers. Sharge has truly elevated the everyday adapter into a design-conscious powerhouse.

"This SSD is a pocket-sized powerhouse. It vanishes into my bag, a silent companion on every work trip, ready to unleash lightning-fast speed whenever I need it."

How fast is this SSD?

It’s no speed demon, but this external SSD keeps up. File transfers feel snappy enough, and BlackMagic’s Disk Speed Test clocked it around 800MB/s read/write. Game load times? Considerably faster. Just don’t expect it to rival the blazing-fast internal SSD on my M3 Pro MacBook Pro – that thing screams at over 4,000MB/s read and 3,400MB/s write. Think of this external drive as a reliable workhorse, not a racehorse.

Transferring a hefty 17.59GB video to the Sharge Disk Pro in just 33.8 seconds? That’s the real-world performance I clocked. Benchmarks don’t lie, and in this case, reality mirrored the tests almost perfectly. While it might not break any speed records, it’s more than zippy enough for everyday file wrangling.

This “mini dock” has everything

Think of it as a Swiss Army knife for your devices. Instantly expand your connectivity with extra ports, solving the dreaded "laptop-without-HDMI-or-USB-A" dilemma. But the magic doesn’t stop there. This pocket-sized powerhouse also works wonders with smartphones, including the latest iPhone 15 and beyond, thanks to its universal USB-C compatibility.

Imagine instant terabyte expansion for your phone – justsnapit in. Forget fumbling with cables. Sharge went beyond simple storage. They added magnets.Magnets!

Sharge’s Disk Pro just got a magnetic upgrade! Think MagSafe, but for your SSD. Snap it onto your phone and bam instant external storage for pro-level video recording. Say goodbye to storage limits when capturing those precious moments. Off-center? Maybe. Functional and genius? Absolutely. You still get unfettered access to your phone’s charging port while shooting.

Tired of your phone’s battery dying mid-inspiration? Content creators, rejoice! The Sharge Disk Pro is here to supercharge your mobile workflow, no matter your allegiance to Android or iOS.

Let’s talk about the fan – yes, a literal fan. This actively cooled SSD sports a button, not unlike a turbo boost on a vintage sports car, to crank up the RPMs. In "Turbo" mode, it sounds like a tiny jet engine preparing for takeoff, but honestly, I’ve rarely needed that kind of cooling muscle. I’m mostly shuffling files, and my MacBook Pro still rocks an HDMI port, thank you very much. Plus, my dongle days are mostly behind me. Sharge even throws in a power switch, transforming this from pure SSD to a sleek docking station with a flick.

Now available on Kickstarter

The Sharge Disk Pro is now available on Kickstarter, starting at $189. Here’s the pricing for each storage config:

• 1TB – $189
• 2TB – $289
• 4TB – $469

Christmas 2025 could bring more than just tinsel and turkey. Sharge anticipates delivering their product by then, potentially making it the ultimate holiday gift. Still on the fence? A leap of faith on Kickstarter might just land one under your tree.

Kickstarter skepticism is our usual stance, as vaporware can be a real issue. However, the Sharge Disk Pro has us convinced – this one’s going to ship, and fast. They’ve already smashed their $10,000 goal, rocketing past $300,000 and still climbing.
