A late‑July 2026 review highlighted Sharge’s Disk Pro 2, a retro‑styled portable SSD enclosure that also functions as a USB‑C hub and 4K HDMI dock. The device offers up to 8 TB of storage, SD ~~card~~ and micro‑SD readers, and a magnetic ~~attachment for phones~~ ring that lets it attach to phones, laptops or handheld consoles. A follow‑up review on 31 July detailed two variants – the Ultra model running on as little as 1.5 W and ~~laptops,~~ the Lite model drawing 5 W but ~~its power delivery limits compatibility~~ limited to HDMI 2.0 at 4K 60 Hz – and recorded write speeds of roughly 700 MB/s with ~~power‑hungry~~ a 1 TB Lexar NM710 drive. Power delivery remains a constraint for high‑draw devices such as the Nintendo Switch 2. The ~~following~~ next day, Sonnet’s Echo 13 dock was examined. Marketed as a Thunderbolt dock with optional internal Kingston NVMe SSDs (1‑4 TB), it provides multiple Thunderbolt ports, Ethernet, and up to 140 W laptop charging, but lacks built‑in video outputs and is aimed at fixed‑desk setups. Together, the reviews illustrate a growing niche of docking solutions that combine high‑capacity SSD storage with varied connectivity, each balancing portability, power needs, and display support differently.
